You always think you’ll get around to sharing all 4,637,738 pictures you have of your child, but of course life happens and you don’t, and then one day you’re scrolling, and you find THIS picture () , taken almost 3 weeks ago, and realize () your child almost doesn’t look like this anymore, so you hurry to post it because TIME IS FLYING. And crawling. Flying and crawling. Both, both, both. FYI: we were practicing our dainty hands over here. So you know what I’m having for dessert, right? #ladyfingers . . Oh, and these DARLING knitted booties we’re generously provided by @corrinasshop ✨ . . . . #Motherhood #Photography #SeekTheSimplicity #LiveFolk #MamaHoodMoments #Art #MomBlogger #ArtistsOnInstagram #FlashesOfTheDelight #InteriorDesign #AheadOfTheCurve #LiveAuthentically #BeDeeplyRooted #ChronicIllness #DailyParenting #TheEveryDayProject #Candidchildhood #livethelittlethings #thehappynow #motherhoodrising #momstrong #childhoodunplugged #Writing #WritersOfInstagram #SheReadsTruth #LoveWins #HazelGwenAndMommy
1 double shot or 2 ounces espresso or extra strong coffee, cooled
1 ½ tablespoons brandy or dark rum
1-2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa
chocolate shavings for garnish (optional)
Instructions
In a bowl, whisk egg yolks, sugar and half of the brandy. Whip fast to thicken. Then, spoon by spoon fold in mascarpone. Mixture should be a little softer than the consistency of mayonnaise. If mixture isn’t thick enough and comes out runny, use a hand blender with whipping blades to thicken.
On a small plate, mix espresso plus the rest of brandy. Quickly dip each side of the ladyfingers (do not completely soak), then add a layer to the bottom of your serving dish. Top with about 1/3 of mascarpone mixture, then repeat and top with the rest of the mixture.
Cover and rest in fridge for 4 hours or overnight. Sprinkle cocoa and chocolate shavings on top before serving.
A note on plating/serving: I made this dish on a small plate because my cream mixture always comes out pretty thick so it will stand on its own. Obviously feel free to use a traditional square pan to prepare your tiramisu in.
