With Thanksgiving falling so late this year, I am feeling especially behind in my holiday preparations, but I do have one recipe I am so excited to share with you a recipe I originally shared on Cup of Jo: tiramisu. My grandmother loved tiramisu and always made one when she was expecting a house full of guests for the holidays. It is one of my favorites, too, and it is especially nice to have on hand this time of year — it can be made ahead and tucked in the fridge, and it feeds a crowd. Recipe is below. I hope all is well, Everyone. cousins: Wren, Ella, Graham, Liam, Arabella: 5 from 1 review Also, if you want to be really picky about ingredients, here are two more suggestions: superfine sugar and imported Italian mascarpone (which is typically sold in small tubs—you will need two of these tubs, which will leave you with some leftover). Don’t worry, however, if you can’t find or don’t feel like seeking out these ingredients. Finally, instead of purchasing a jar of instant espresso that might sit around for an entire year after opening, just go to your favorite coffee shop and order and a few shots of espresso or a cup of strong coffee. You need about 2/3 cups liquid total. Obviously, if you have an espresso machine, brew a few shots and add enough hot water to bring the total volume to 2/3 cup. 2 to 4 teaspoons brandy or rum2 teaspoons instant espresso powder, see notes above2/3 cup hot water A bar of chocolate (semi-sweet or your favorite bar of dark chocolate) for shaving/garnishing
