Dulce de leche Tiramisu

One of the best Tiramisu flavours you need to try!

Dulce de leche is one of my all time obsessions! It´s like the sexier cousion of toffee sauce and makes the perfect addition to lots of desserts specially those that are creamy based. And don´t get me wrong I love a good traditional tirmaisu but this recipe with dulce de leche is just as good I would dare to say.

FAQS and Tips

• Can I skip the egg yolks? Yes, you can susbtitute the yolks with 70g of extra double cream

• I don´t drink alcohol can I skip the rum? Yes, you can although any alcohol in it should evaporate due to the cooking temperature

• I cannot find dulce de leche. You can actually make your own dulce de leche by boiling a can of condensed milk for around 3 hours (should be completely submerged in water the entire time).
