Turning Failure into Tiramisu

When life hands you flat cream puffs, fear not: They can be salvaged by turning them into a non-traditional but delicious and light tiramisu.

The pictured tiramisu was made by the author, but is not the dish described in the piece. That dessert was eaten too fast to be photographed.

It’s always fun to have your food be deeply appreciated, but I’d never had anyone lick their plate clean in enjoyment of something I’d made — until last weekend.

I was on a deadline. Even though I’d known about this dinner party for a week, it took me a while to decide what dessert to bring (per a request from the hostess). By the time I made said decision, it was really too late to be ordering a Bismark piping tip from Amazon — two-day shipping or not. I pursued my foolish way with a will, however, and hoped it would make it in time.
