3. Tiramisu Lover? You May Want To Know This!
There are countless simple cake recipes out there, but let’s face it: homemade cakes may have little or no additional chemicals, preservatives, or stabilizers, but they are kind of a hassle to make. Sure, if you like baking, that’s a whole different story.
Now, tiramisu may not be the most complicated cake to make (depending on whom you’re asking, though), but you still need between one and two hours to do it. Basically, you have to soak each Italian ladyfinger cookie in liquor or espresso, then layer them with custard or mascarpone. You should repeat the whole process at least three times. The cake is ready to eat only after at least four hours in the fridge.
So, yes, it takes some time to make a tiramisu. Now, it’s up to you to decide whether it’s worth making a homemade one or not. Sometimes it does, and sometimes it doesn’t.
For the times it doesn’t, I recommend you try the 2.38-pound Costco tiramisu (you can find it in the refrigerated section of the bakery). This option is definitely time-saving, but it’s also money-saving too. According to one of our readers, the individual ingredients for making tiramisu can be quite pricey.
Well, the Costco version is only $16, and it’s a big cake! Now that’s what I call a great deal.
