Tiramisu

Submitted by keort

"Be forewarned, this has a pretty "alcohol-y" taste with its fair amount of uncooked alcohol, as well as two raw egg yolks for those with concerns or sensitivities to. Also, you don't have to buy superfine sugar; just put small amounts at a time into you blender and blend on high. Viola, you essentially have superfine sugar."
