There’s just something so pleasing about having a dessert from a glass.

I think tiramisu is the perfect traditional cake to be twisted like this, because of its soft filling and cookie (ladyfinger) base. When making tiramisu, I don’t like to use raw eggs (I use them only if I have really fresh ones from the farm). That’s why I cook them over double boiler for about 10 minutes. This is such a simple and foolproof recipe!
