This is My Favorite Dessert.
There is no priority right now. A creamy layer of dulce de leche + espresso-infused ladies’ fingers all fit into one creamy, delightful piece. It has all my heart.
My list of favorite desserts:
Over the past two years, I’ve bought an embarrassing number of individual tiramisu cups at a local “high end” grocery store (shoutout to Kowalski). They have a special variation in their bakery case called Dulce De Leche Tiramisu, and it’s my all-time favorite.
So, basically what I did was I did it myself. Here’s a picture of me checking it out…
And deciding that THIS HOMEMADE TIRAMISU IS EVEN MUCH BETTER! *wiping away tears*
I made this recipe the perfect one-pan classic, which works great as an ooh-ahh show-stopping dessert at a dinner party or holiday meal. I fully plan to make this Christmas dessert every year from here on out.
And here’s the kicker: it’s shockingly easy, and it actually needs to be done in advance! It’s easy!
Since this version does not contain alcohol, the key to next-level success is using really rich, dark espresso to dip sister’s fingers. Technically you can use any strong coffee, or homemade espresso from powder. But if you really want to knock your socks off, go to Starbucks and order 5-6 shots of espresso (decaf, for me) to use for dipping. Or use an espresso maker if you have one at home.
You will die of happiness. To be rich! The depth! Compared to that sweet, creamy layer with just a hint of dulce de leche – it is SO AMAZING.
