Vietnamese Coffee Tiramisu
Tiramisu is one of my favorite desserts. Vietnamese coffee is my favorite way to consume caffeine. So I did what any hungry sweet-toothed stoner would do and combined the two into the ultimate Vietnamese/Italian fusion dessert. This tiramisu is so tasty that after you eat the entire baking dish, you’ll make a second one the next day. Waste line: EXPAND!
