TIRAMISU TRIFLE

So easy, so good. This version of the Italian favorite is really delicious and not too sweet. The cake, which stood in for lady fingers, soaked up every bit of strong coffee and Kahlua. I love a 'transport desserts...' those desserts that transport you to happy mental space or into a fantastic memory. The bonus is the simplicity of the recipe, which does not affect, in any way, the quality.


"I used Kahlua to spike the coffee but you can use rum, vodka, or Bailey's- all are good."


Notes: Cream cheese is Philadelphia.
