I haven’t been writing anything on the blog for a while and I thought it was time to do something about it. I had a few bad weeks, I got a nasty cold and was in bed for way too long, and then the fridge stopped working! For the 2 hottest weeks we’ve had in a long time, I didn’t have a fridge and couldn’t cook as everything would spoil in my greenhouse-like home. We’ve been terrible, we had takeaways, and rubbish food not worth sharing with anyone!
Ingredients
1: shortcrust pastry
2: unsalted butter, room temperature
3: golden caster sugar
4: ground almond
5: lemon, zest and juice
6: egg
7: rum (optional)
8: raspberries
9: cream, whipped or not, however you prefer it (optional)

Italy, coffee and mascarpone cheese go hand in hand – that’s always my first thought whenever I think of Italian cuisine and culture. I’m not a huge coffee lover though, I don’t drink it unless I’m in immediate need of an energy boost, but I love its aroma early in the morning and its flavor in desserts. And I love mascarpone cheese as well – the kind of love that gets close to addiction sometimes. Therefore when I was asked to come up with an Italian inspired dish, Tiramisu was my first thought. But since I like thinking outside of the box, I took the basic idea of a Tiramisu and elevated it to the next level.
