The Best Tiramisu
Somehow I have tried to perfect this recipe but it seems that the only person that can do it to perfection is my wonderful and beautiful and lovely mother! (no i am not asking for money mom)

This tiramisu recipe, if made properly, will melt in your mouth and bring you lots of fans. My mother is famous for making this and every time there is an occasion they request her tiramisu (not many disagree). I recall a certain cousin Basilio eating almost the whole thing single handedly at a Christmas dinner or my mom having to hide it from her Japanese students as a) they generally eat like monsters and b) there wouldn't be any left for her other 'daughters' and my sister even tried to sell it on eBay for $1 a download, thinking she would make millions -that's how good it is!

Anyhow try it at home - I think the secret is to dunk the cookies in the espresso for one second, no more no less. I wouldn't know really as I am only allowed to watch my mother make this and not actually help unless it is to wash the dishes or crack the eggs (even still she is wary of my ability)
Anyhow, thx for the recipe Mom....luv me xxx
This one will definitely be in the cookbook.
