Dyan's
Tiramisu Parfait
Serves
8-10
|
This is one of the most
delightful things to hit your tongue. And of course, it has a
story.
Dyan is the Dessert Queen. as good a cook as Dimitri is, his
expertise ends with the main course. Which is where Dyan picks up. What a
team!
In
trying to put together the good parts of three different tiramisu recipes, Dyan
wasn't satisfied with the consistency of the end result. And so she whipped it
quickly in the blender and froze it.
Because it's not blended completely to
liquid, small chunks of lady finger are little treats inside the treat. Topped
with whipped cream and a dash of cinnamon, a sprinkle of kahlua - oh this is TO
DIE FOR!
