Hello, hello. This week's post is about a pouch of custard mix, a box of old lady fingers, and cocoa all about thirty to sixty years old. My job? Revive it all to make a delightful tiramisu.
Challenge Accepted
So, as you may imagine, this took quite a bit of coffee and alcohol. I was going along with the directions when my mother tells me that will never work. I tweak it a bit and continue, my mood rapidly becoming less positive. My mother and brother aren't helping much, telling me that it'll be awful since it was so old, and that I shouldn't try. I do though, soaking the lady fingers and folding homemade whipped cream into the dense and dusty custard mixture.
Eventually it all comes together. I place it in the refrigerator to chill.
Two and a half hours later I pull it out of the fridge and decorate the top with a cocoa/sugar mix. When I serve it, it's rather un-sturdy. I suppose I should have whipped the custard another minute before adding the whipped cream.
I take a little bite and think it's rather good. I read the box again to check for the date and see that i'm allergic to the custard mix. All those hours... at least it tasted good.

Until next recipe....
