Make another dessert!
Proper tiramisu has egg yolks in the creamy bit!. I think you cream the egg yolks with sugar over a pan of hot water, add mascapone and a bit of creme fraiche!. Layer that with coffee and rum (tia maria is great too) soaked sponges and chill it for a few hours, if you can wait that long!
Or if that's too much effort have french toast for breakfast!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
