Tiramisu Shots and a Bertolli Virtual Dinner

tiramisu shots

What’s cuter than little single serve desserts? The first time I was introduced to them a few years back at a local restaurant I thought they were the best things ever. For these little dessert shots, I have made America’s favorite Italian dessert, tiramisu. I used a super simple recipe with these, and guess what, no eggs! They aren’t quite as rich as a traditional tiramisu, but there’s no reason to worry about food poisoning with these safe little tiramisu shots!

I just used a simple mixture of mascarpone cheese and whipped cream flavored with espresso and coffee liqueurs for the filling. Then topped them with fresh whipped cream lightly sweetened and flavored with vanilla.

For garnish I used some beautiful fresh raspberries and cocoa powder.

I am so happy to be part of Bertolli’s virtual dinner today hosted by Paula at Bell’alimento. Be sure to head over to her site to see what sweet treat she’s come up with.

Before our gorgeous tiramisu shots, we had Bertolli’s new Meal Soups. Pictured below is Roasted Chicken and Rotini Pasta, my son’s favorite. We also tried Tuscan Style Beef and Vegetables, Chicken Minestrone and my favorite, Tomato Florentine and Tortellini with Chicken.

I was very impressed with these new meal soups. They come in the frozen food isle. All you have to do is add the contents of the soup package to a saucepan with a cup of water. Then heat through according to package directions. It makes a really quick and affordable meal for 2. The soups really are restaurant quality, and take minutes to prepare.

And here’s my simple recipe for the tiramisu shots. You can omit the alcohol if you like.
