As kids, if we were ever feeling shattered from sport, school or riding ponies, Mum would make a huge bowl of tiramisu, the classic Italian mamma’s pick-me-up. I adored it even though it was probably a little on the boozy side! My kids were born with my tiramisu adoration, but being half-French they also have a hereditary addiction to Nutella. In this recipe, I’ve combined the two. These little jars (individual servings lessen the squabbles for the last spoonful) of chocolatey, hazelnutty goodness are less eggy than Mum’s original recipe. I also add whisky, not the usual Marsala, for a smoky note or maybe just to stamp my Scottish heritage on it. Delizioso. Photograph by Jani Shepherd and styling by Fiona Hugues – Gatherum Collectif.
