“Bold. Dark. Creamy and “Kau-Kau”. That’s how the girl loves her tiramisu. In Malaysia, “kau-kau” (pronounced as”cow-cow” means “strong”.) This special birthday dessert is dedicated to Nina, my second daughter. A night owl, she helped me breathe life into this blog. Wouldn’t a Red Dirt Tiramisu be the perfect pick-me-up for her? So what’s the story on …
