I came upon this recipe a long time ago and it's been my go to special occasion dessert ever since. I think what makes it even more special for me was being told by a true Italian that it was the best tiramisu he'd ever tasted.
There seem to be many ways a tiramisu can be created but I think the more authentic versions have to be made with a zabaione. This is where the eggs and sugar are beaten over simmering water until 140 degrees are reached thus pasteurizing the eggs and killing any potentially harmful bacteria.
The reason for making today's tray of Mediterranean temptation was for our weekly concert in the park pot luck. Long Beach has been hosting their municipal bands for free during the summer months and it's a great opportunity to head to the park with the kids and meet up with some other great families for some fine food and music.
We always try to have a theme for the pot luck and tonight's happened to be Italian, bellessimo!!
