Buca di Beppo's Tiramisu
Though it's not traditionally a dessert of the South, our espresso and rum-soaked Tiramisu captures the vital, vibrant, powerful flavors of southern Italy - more than living up to its name, which means "pick me up" in Italian. Is a dessert this redolent of rum and espresso appropriate for kids? They'll get a toothache before they get a hangover! Serves 4.
