Tiramisu....

I don't know how many times I've been asked what my favorite dessert is! I guess it comes with the job. This question is the most impossible question! Choosing a favorite dessert is entirely to hard. I've tried many times, but just when I've thought I found the most amazing, scrumptious dessert, someone introduces me to one even more Delicious! More over, different times of the year, call for different types of desserts.

For example, right now pumpkin cheesecake with bourbon sour cream and spiced rum caramel sounds exquisite,

how ever, in July I might crave something brighter and fruitier like a black currant mousse and lemon cream torte. On the other hand, no matter what time of the year, no matter how cold, hot, snowy, or rainy it is, I can never turn down one dessert! Tiramisu!!!! Yum! I made some individual tiramisus yesterday, and they where scrumdidliumscious, if I do say so myself! Here's the recipe! Tiramisu
