I always liked coffee based desserts so I decided to try my hand at tiramisu. It was much easier than I expected and the results are pretty good. I will be making this more I think.

I remember making this for the first time. I didn’t have an espresso machine, so I went to Peet’s (local coffee chain) and asked if I could order 32 espresso shots to make tiramisu. They laughed and said it wasn’t a problem. The coffee flavor was so nice and strong that I haven’t really had a better (in my opinion) tiramisu eating out. Not great before sleep, bc eating a slice got you wired lol. Good times!
The most expensive possible way to make tiramisu.
It was just a spur of the moment one-time thing!🙈
And considering the other ingredients, that's really sayin' somethin'!
The recipe usually asks for about 1-2 cups of esspresso. Ive always gone to Dunkin and ordered 4 fullshots of espresso and its been enough. Sometimes I even ask them to put a pump or two of mocha in there. How big was your tiramisu!?
It was a full baking dish, about a 9x13” size! Lol And yeah it was strong for a tiramisu but I was pleased with it. Would make that recipe again. But probably just use my aeropress and make it concentrated next time😆
Maybe I should do that next time. I don't have an espresso machine either and just used instant espresso haha
Maybe not order 32 shots xD
That's... really expensive for tiramisu.
A cheaper but still good way would be to buy ground coffee (not instant coffee, ground coffee beans for an espresso machine) and boil some water in a kettle. Pour the booking water over a bunch of grinds and let it sit. Make it as concentrated as you want. Then set up a paper coffee filter in a funnel and strain it into a bottle or jar or something.
Used to do this in a cocktail bar for espresso martinis after the stingy owner of the bar sold the espresso machine. Would froth when shaken just as well as fresh espresso, and was actually decently nice to drink black. Makes nice iced coffee too with some sugar and milk, would definitely work quite well in tiramisu.
So use drip coffee is what you're saying, right?
