Name: Tiramisu Venetian Style
Yield: Makes 8 servings
Ingredients: 6 large eggs, separated; 4 tablespoons (50 g) sugar; 2 cups (500 g) mascarpone cheese, drained of any excess liquid; 1 cup (240 ml) sweet vermouth; Two 7-ounce (420 g) packages amaretti cookies

Dolce all'Amaretto

Though this is nothing like the Treviso-born tiramisù popularized across the world, we've christened it with the same name because it's just as much a "pick-me-up." The hazelnut cookies soak up the sweet vermouth and are layered with the creamy, whipped mascarpone. Since no cooking is necessary, it is perfect for summer entertaining.

There are many things that appeal about a Basque cheesecake—it's crustless (one less job) and is meant to look “rustic” with its wrinkled and jagged sides.
