Over indulgence is the way forwards...

...or the way towards a larger pair of jeans and certain depression when you catch a glimpse of yourself in the mirror in underwear. Either way I'm going to share one last horribly calorific treat with you before I commence a regime of lettuce and self-flagellation. And these little delights are designed for parties so perhaps you can get a crowd round for a nice salad and some group-torture on the Wii Fit and then serve these for dessert? Marvellous.

Individual Tiramisu
Makes 12

Ingredients:
1 pack of chocolate cups (if you can't find these you could probably just serve them in mini tin foil muffin cups but you would want to grate chcolate into each layer if you did that)

3 tbspns cream cheese
8 tbspns double cream
1 tbspn icing sugar
A handful of Ameretti biscuits
1 tspn of instant coffee in three tablespoons of boiling water OR 1 espresso
3 tbspns of Cointreau or Grand Marnier
Grated chocolate to serve (optional)

Instructions:

1. Beat the cream cheese, icing sugar and cream together until it forms stiff peaks.
2. Crumble up the Amarettis into small pieces
3. Allow the coffee mixture/ espresso to cool then combine with the Cointreau/ Grand Marnier
4. Layer the ingredients into the cups as follows: Amarettis: liqueur & coffee mix: cream mix: Amarettis: liqueur & coffee mix: cream mix
5. Top with Amarettis or grated chocolate and serve to be eaten whole

And I promise to share something healthy next.
