Tiramisu
I don't know if you guys know, but I grew up in Italy until I was 4. My parents studied medicine there, and I enjoyed every moment being with them. One of the gifts I got from living there is the food, obviously. My mom used to take me every day to eat ice cream after kindergarten. On weekends, she always made a huge tray of tiramisu. Later on, we moved back to Israel, and my mom kept making classic Italian recipes she learned from her classmates. Tiramisu was always a cake my mom took a lot of pride in making. She believed she made it the best. I decided to make her recipe here, but instead of buying ladyfingers, I decided to make my own. It's obviously easier to get them in the store, but if you're making tiramisu every once in a while, why not take this project fully on? I made the ladyfingers batter and piped it to the size of the pan I made the tiramisu in. Instead of dipping many ladyfingers in coffee and layering them, I placed full ladyfinger sheets and drizzled coffee on top. It's so cool. It's really up to you if you're gonna make them from scratch, but from my experience, it was a really fun little project. Either way, tiramisu is one of my absolute favorite cakes. It's meant to be shared and always feels special!
