Tiramisu

Maybe it's the Italian in my blood, or maybe it's just my love of creamy things and coffee and chocolate. But no matter the reason, tiramisu is my favorite dessert EVER. And that's saying something, folks, because there are a lot of delicious desserts out there that I and my sweet tooth dearly love.

But tiramisu beats them all.

If you've never heard of it, tiramisu is an Italian dessert made with coffee-soaked ladyfingers, mascarpone cheese, whipped cream, and dusted with cocoa powder. In other words, heaven on a plate. The word literally means "pick-me-up" or, metaphorically speaking, "make me happy."

Fudge Frosting

A quick post today for a quick but delicious frosting recipe. This is easy to make in a single saucepan, simple to whip up, and delectable enough for company - or just for yourself and a spoon!

I'm going to go ahead and warn you right now: this is evil frosting. It's made with lots of butter and sugar and chocolate, and it practically begs to be eaten right out of the pot. That's okay with me. That's VERY okay with me. But if it's not okay with you, you might want to check out a different post. A healthy post. Like tofu. Or soup.
