Rich and Creamy Tiramisu
Creamy, rich, and bursting with bold coffee flavors, tiramisu is one of my all-time favorite desserts. My version is less eggy than typical recipes, putting the mellow flavor of mascarpone front and center.

Amaro Hot Chocolate
Rich hot cocoa gets a boozy touch with bittersweet Italian amaro. You can use the amaro of your choice and then pick the type of chocolate to match: Averna will give semisweet chocolate a nice herbal and caramel finish. For a punch of mint and a bitter kick, sub in Fernet and try milk chocolate instead. Don't worry, though, there are no wrong choices or combinations here.
