I brought this dessert last Saturday to a Christmas party we attended. Our friend, Laura, hosted the dinner at her home. My other dish to bring was rolls, so I'll post that next.
Although I wasn't too fond of this dessert, others at the party seemed to like it so I felt like I should still post it. For the coffee, I ran to Caribou Coffee and bought a quick cup since I didn't have any in my home to make.
You'll also notice that the ingredients called for in this recipe are mainly brand name ingredients. Obviously, this is because the recipe was on the 'Nilla Wafers box and serves as Nabisco's attempt at making more money. You can use other brands for sure.

Huh? I thought you were Italian? This is nowhere near a proper tiramisu. That being said, it probably tastes great. But still.. HUH?!

Anon - Did you read the post? I did mention I personally didn't like it, but others did so I still wanted to share. It was a recipe posted on the 'Nilla Wafers box, labeled Tiramisu Bowl. Obviously it's not a traditional Tiramisu, I never claimed it was.
Thanks for reading the blog, but hopefully kinder comments come from you in the future. I encourage critiques and reviews on the recipes, but only if you properly read the entire post first and preferably if you actually made and tasted the dish. Thanks.
