Marsala Tiramisu
"Tiramisu, which means "pick me up" in Italian, uses espresso to help moisten and flavor the crisp ladyfinger cookie layers. Either brandy, rum or Marsala is typically used to flavor the fluffy custard cream filling (also referred to as zabaglione). Here the Sicilian Marsala wins out, adding complexity to this superb version of the must-try Italian dessert...."
