Tiramisu + brownie = the best of both dessert worlds. You really can’t beat that coffee/chocolate combo, and you know it’s going to be extra good when you use the Italian Roast coffee from Barista Prima Coffeehouse – talk about authentic. I just might have to serve this to my Italian family on Christmas Eve. Buone Feste.
