There's a party in my tummy.

Donna Hay never lets me down.

One of my all time favorite cookbooks is from her called "The Instant Cook".

What I lurve about this book, is that just about every recipe has a photo, and she gives you different versions of certain dishes.

Her tiramisu is off the charts-and SO easy:

1 3/4 c cream

1 lb mascarpone (insert giada's annoying accent)

1 c coffee liquer (this preggers girl is living on the edge)

2c espresso

26 lady fingers (NOT an easy thing to find in the KC)

cocoa powder for dusting

Do It:

Beat heavy cream in bowl with mixer until soft peaks form. (**I added a couple tbsp powdered sugar-needed a little sweetness**).

Fold in mascarpone. Set aside.

Combine liquer and coffww.

Quickly dip both sides of half the biscuits in the coffee mixture & use them to layer the base of a 4 pint serving dish.

Spoon half of the cream mixture over the layer of biscuits.

Repeat with remaining biscuits and cream.

Dust with cocoa powder.

Refrigerate at least one hour.

I also made this version:

replace the coffee and liquer with 1 cup dessert wine (I used Muscato).

Layer 20 oz defrosted frozen raspberries over biscuit and cream mixture.

Yum-o.
