Baking is pretty much my favorite distraction or method of procrastination. We were having a girls night a few months ago, and I volunteered to make the dessert. I thought I'd make something yummy but simple, after all, I was supposed to be studying for my Complex Analysis qualifying exam. But the more I thought about it, the more I wanted to spend my evenings baking instead of studying. Everyone needs a break from working the brain too hard every now and then! So I took on the challenge of making tiramisu, completely from scratch :) Well, almost completely. I did buy the mascarpone cheese. Maybe next time I'll try making the cheese too.
It was worth it. So worth it. I should have taken more pictures. I'll just have to refer you to one of my favorite baking blogs, Sprinkle Bakes, where I found the recipe I used.
I thought it would be fun to make little individual portions, so instead of making regular shaped lady fingers, I made them round, about 3 inches in diameter. And used two per portion. I didn't have little spring form pans, or molds, so I ended up making cylinders out of parchment paper around the lady fingers. They turned out beautifully!
