Chocolate Tiramisu

Is anyone else a little freaked out by the consumption of raw eggs? 🥚  I couldn't have been the only person cringing while watching Rocky Balboa down his pre-workout raw egg concoction in the infamous movie. 🫣🤢🥊 (I just dated myself, didn't I? 🤣)  I'm not here to debate the safety of consuming raw eggs but you better believe that I won't be making myself a raw egg milkshake before my workout anytime soon.  

I don't want to give eggs a bad rap.  They aren't the only things that I prefer cooked instead of raw.  I like cooked fish - and not just the kind cooked with lime juice. 🍣  I prefer grilled or roasted tomatoes to fresh. 🍅  And vegetables like spinach, garlic and onions are far better sautéed than they are fresh, in my opinion.

Most of us have probably never whipped up a raw egg milkshake for ourselves but we've actually consumed raw eggs in a much sneakier - and more delicious form - tiramisu.  It's true.  The most authentic tiramisu is made with raw eggs.  

Again - not here to debate whether or not it's safe to consume raw eggs - but just the thought of it kind of wierds me out.  Soooo... instead of skipping out on this delicious treat - I figured out how to cook my eggs before adding them to my tiramisu.  It's easier than you might think and it's just as scrumptious as it's raw egg counterpart.
