Gary’s Beautiful Berrymisu

I can’t stand coffee even though I love the taste of coffee sweets, coffee -esq Liquors like Tia Maria, Kahlua and chocco espresso beans. As much as I love Tiramisu I find it heavy so thus unsuitable to hot ass days which was where my Berrymisu idea originated. It was on a scorching hot Boston summers day when I decided to change up the classic Tiramisu and this is what I came up with. I’ve gone with Cherry Brandy and Strawberry liquor only because I couldn’t find Creme de Cassis or Chambord. Either of those would be my first choice but like I’ve said many times before don’t be put off by not finding something. Use your Noggin’ and adapt. Get stuck in.
