Mine is Amaretto Syllabub with a few Raspberries on the side.

A Nigella delight.

... sorry, but almost drowned while salivating when I checked the spelling and found wiki ......

Tiramisu is a layered dessert, consisting of alternating layers of coffee-soaked Savoiardi biscuits and sweet mixture of mascarpone cheese and eggs and sugar. Eggs, sugar and Marsala wine are cooked as a zabaione. Cocoa powder is sifted on top (and sometimes between layers) as both a garnish and a bitter counterpoint to the sweetened cheese mixture.[6]

To prepare the biscuit layer, Savoiardi (light, finger-sized sponge cakes, commonly known as ladyfingers in the United States) are soaked in espresso or strong coffee, often with an addition of a flavorful liquor such as sweet Marsala wine or dark rum.

For the mascarpone cheese layer, a mixture of egg yolks and sugar is first prepared: egg yolks are mixed with sugar to form a thick cream to which the mascarpone cheese is added, then the egg whites are beaten stiff and folded in to the mascarpone/egg cream. This mixture is spread over the coffee-soaked biscuits. The layer is then topped with a dusting of cocoa powder, and more layers are added.

Countless variations for tiramisu exist. Some cooks use other cakes or sweet, yeasted breads, such as panettone, in place of ladyfingers.[7] Other cheese mixtures are used as well, some containing raw eggs, and others containing no eggs at all. Other liquors are frequently substituted for the traditional Marsala wine in both the coffee and the cheese mixture, including dark rum, Madeira, port, brandy and cognac.

You beat me to it. Tiramisu is one of the most delicious foods ever devised.

Although the amaretto creation mentioned by the OP sounds worth investigating.

Really can't decide between lemon meringue pie, New York cheesecake (I know it's boring), bread and butter pudding or crème brûlée.

Might have to have one each night this week to determine which is my favourite.

Fantastic choice; best one I have ever had was at the Pear Tree Inn, one of Marco Pierre White's "pubs" in Wiltshire and it's still on the menu; albeit with prunes Agen a l'Armagnac, or with a red fruit compote, instead of the raspberry coulis.

If anyone likes to make Tiramisu, try it with the addition of pear and stem ginger; fantastic. Guys, the ladies seem to love it

Some great calls and a few to try too.

Eton Mess with Raspberries is also one of my faves.

Had a wicked Tiramasu many years ago in a Soho restaurant to which nothing has come near since. If it was consistently good it could push Amaretto Syllabub close.

What about desserts on theIr smearability levels?
