This Is My New Favorite Dessert.
There’s nothing that currently tops it. It’s the creamy dulce de leche layer + the espresso-soaked ladyfingers all hugging each other in one creamy, delightful slice. It has my whole heart.
My all-time favorite desserts list:
In the last two years, I’ve bought an embarrassing number of little individual tiramisu cups from our local “fancy” grocery store (shoutout to Kowalski’s). They have a specific variety in their bakery case that is called Dulce De Leche Tiramisu, and it is my all-time favorite.
So, basically what I did is I made it myself. Here’s a picture of me side-by-side testing it…
And determining that THIS HOMEMADE TIRAMISU IS EVEN BETTER! *wipes a tear*
I made this recipe in classic whole-pan form, which works so beautifully for an ooh-ahh show-stopping dessert at a dinner party or a holiday meal. I fully plan to make this for Christmas dessert every year from here on out.
And here’s the kicker: it’s shockingly easy to make, and actually needs to be made ahead! THE CONVENIENCE!
Since this version doesn’t include alcohol, the key to next-level success is using truly rich, dark espresso for soaking the ladyfingers. Technically you can use any strong coffee, or homemade espresso from a powder. But if you want to really knock your own socks off, go to Starbucks and order 5-6 espresso shots (decaf, in my case) to use for soaking. Or use an espresso maker if you have one at home.
You will die of joy. The richness! The depth! Contrasted with that sweet, creamy layer that tastes just subtly of dulce de leche – it’s SO incredible.
