Lots of stuff going on in this recipe gonna try it out tonight.
It's kinda expensive to make and takes a long time but does taste good
Perfect dessert when you're stressed out and goes great with some caramel coffee or tea too.
I recommend leaving it in the fridge overnight it taste way better when left to cool for a long period of time and the texture will be sponge like.
6 hours is just insane for a tiramisu...
Lovely dessert had it yesterday thanks so much for sharing.
Go easy on the salt and dont add or minus anything even if you think just by looking at it, its too much, i assure you its not!!
Far too diffcult for me sadly id put this in the hard difficulty not medium
I have no idea what the calvados thing is and i dont know what to buy i live in czecha.
Huge crowd pleaser for sure made this the other night for the family and it was devoured in under an hour! I made like three too!
Can I add chcoolate chips some how to this?
Made my pumpkin puree from scratch so that added an extra 3 hours but worth it.
Not too shabby but it's easy to overkill on the cinnamon becareful.
kay so I made this yesterday with my husband after trying out the lemon tiramisu (which was WAY too zesty for a dessert) and it not turning out to be so good..this on the other hand had such a perfect texture and flavor when eaten cold its like taking a bite of heaven! The pumpkin in it isn't overwhelming and the cake itself melts in your mouth, basically a 5 star dessert you can make from home so 5 stars from both of us!
