Do I have a sweet treat for you today – a rich and luscious tiramisu that is so simple to put together and full of sweet cream flavor. Confession: when I hear “Tiramisu” I always thought it was so laborious to put together that I never attempted it. When I discovered an easy peasy tiramisu recipe from Ms. Martha – well, it didn’t look that difficult so I decided to play around a bit.
International Delight has a host of flavors based on the Cold Stone Creamery ice creams and one of my faves is Sweet Cream. When I had an opportunity to create something with their line of Coldstone Creamery flavors, I knew I had to play with the sweet cream and what better to feature this luscious flavor but in a decadent tiramisu.
Let me tell you – the most effort was brewing the strong coffee and whipping the cream (but the mixer did the heavy whipping on that). I did have an overwhelming urge to dive into the fluffy marscarpone mixture but I was a good gal – I behaved. I decided to take it one step further and layer the top with an additional layer of vanilla whipped cream and topped with cocoa and dark chocolate shavings – well let’s just say it’s quite the dessert.
On to the recipe:
