Adding Spirit To The Holidays With An Irish Cream Tiramisu

We’re nearing the end of Christmas Week and I don’t know about you but I’m thinking that I need to break out the yoga pants with the amount of delicious treats that everyone is spotlighting!  I thought I’d provide a twist on the classic Italian tiramisu but with a bit of an Irish twist.

My infatuation with Irish Cream began many many moons ago.  I’d like to say it began when I had my mother’s BFF Moe’s divine Irish Cream Cream Puffs but if I must confess it started a bit earlier.  See – back when I was in the 4th or 5th grade, my friend Anna and I would sneak a sip or two of Irish Cream out of my great grandmother’s fancy crystal.  In our defense, we thought it was a funny tasting milkshake and my mom had a bottle of it in the back of the fridge.   Boy did we think we were fancy.  I blame the blonde hair.  Anywhoo – the moral of the story is that I’ve learned that baking and whipping up treats with it is almost as good as a really good cocktail.

This Irish Cream Tiramisu couldn’t be easier to make and – an added bonus – there are no raw eggs in the mix.  I started experimenting with a Nigella Lawson recipe and then decided to sub in a bit of whipped cream in lieu of the whipped egg whites.  The end result was a divine, rich dessert that is perfect for your Christmas Eve dinner.
