Tiramisu (from Italian, spelled tiramisù [tiramiˈsu], meaning "pick me up", "cheer me up","wake me up" [1] or "lift me up") is a popular coffee-flavored Italian dessert. It is made of lady’s fingers (Italian: Savoiardi, [savoˈjardi]) dipped in coffee, layered with a whipped mixture of eggs, sugar, and mascarpone cheese, flavoured with cocoa. The recipe has been adapted into many varieties of cakes and other desserts.[2] Its origins are often disputed among Italian regions such as Veneto, Friuli Venezia Giulia, Piedmont, and others.

My take on this was a cocktail themed upon a classic Tiramisu recipe. Taking Chocolate liquor, Vodka, fresh brewed Espresso and Ameretto Combined with single cream or milk to create a moorish cocktail with all the flavours of a classic Italian Tiramisu.

I served this to my Girlfriend for valentines Day, Neither of us as big on desserts, I've always been more of a starter and mains type of guy and luckily for me so is my Girlfriend Elaine (saves me from making 3 courses when i cook for her!) We were impressed with the Initial tastes and after a bit of ingredient quantity changes (less vodka more ameretto etc ) we decided on the recipe on this page.
