Tiramisu With Speculaas
Make this altered version of tiramisu from Maayke of Nutmeg And Vinegar. We all know tiramisu is a wonderful pick-me-up dessert. But Maayke’s interpretation calls for Dutch speculaas cookies instead of ladyfingers which makes for a more flavorful dessert just right for Christmas.

French moniker notwithstanding, these chocolate coffee pots de creme from Tiffany ofLiving Sweet Momentsare more accessible than you might think. But first, let’s dive into what they are.
This 3-layer sophisticated chocolate dessert jar starts with lustrous custard. Then you add the coffee custard after the chocolate layer sets, keeping them separate for “for texture dimension and depth of flavor.” The third layer is whipped cream, and Tiffany also provides a quick recipe for that.

Nutellamisu
There’s no shortage of original, best, or classic tiramisu recipes. Sure, they’re yummy, but they are not new or exciting. But this mouthwatering “Nutellamisu” recipe from Lee-Ann of Chef Not Required is a different story!
First, the name, an amalgamation of Nutella-the chocolate-hazelnut spread-and tiramisu, is so clever. But the recipe is familiar. You still dip the biscuits in coffee and alternate layers of biscuits and cream. The main difference is the layer of Nutella. And the cream is egg-free.
