MAGICAL TIRAMISU SHOTS

Tiramisu - A classic Italian dessert made of  lady's finger and mascarpone cheese with the presence of coffee and liquor. I have never heard of anyone who doesn't like it.  After coming to US it has become my all time favorite. So here's a quick and easy to make version of this wonderful dessert . 

I love the idea of desserts being served in the shot glasses. And we all know the benefits.

   They look elegant and cute.
   You can make as many variations as you like and amuse your guests.
   And most important, you can control your serving portion.
