My sister was hosting Christmas this year and she asked me to bring a dessert. I decided on bringing the tiramisu. I'm not really sure why I chose it, I guess maybe because I knew there was no way Husband and I would be able to eat this ourselves. It's pretty simple to prepare especially if you get the alcohol content correct...I didn't. I made this without paying close attention to what I was doing and I ended up pouring the entire cup of Bailey's in with the espresso that I dipped the savoiardi in...oops! but a delicious oops. It may have even been a subconscious effort to add more booze. Really you're supposed to reserve 75ml for mixing in with the mascarpone but I just added an extra 75ml. I'm not sure how much this effected the overall taste because my extra booze was in the coffee bath but this tiramisu was booze hound tiramisu - which means it was pretty yummy. It turned out fantastic I'd say, with the way it set and all so I think this is a great recipe for a tiramisu. You can of course control the level of booze flavour you want by adding more or less to the coffee bath and you could even replace the bailey's in the mascarpone with espresso coffee if you want no booze at all - but don't be a jerk and remove all the fun from the party.
In the end I'd say this dessert turned out much like my Christmas, very enjoyable and a little bit drunk.
