Tiramisu

I had wanted to make tiramisu using the recipe given by Alison but the mascarpone cheese that I finally found at Carrefour was not cheap.

And than still have to buy ladyfingers (biscuit) and XO or any other type of wine.

So, I decided to drop the idea of making it. Anyway, I’m never a great fan of tiramisu.
