This is awesome! My husband and his friends have beer and hooka parties. (No Girls Allowed!) I always make a Guinness Stout Chocolate Cake, but am always looking for new beer recipes.
Thanks!

Its terrific~

Yum. I can't wait to see you again Heidi.

i just have to pass this onto my family back in wisconsin--america's brewery land! i wonder if there is a recipe in there for beer-cooked brats?

Sounds yummy. Can't wait to prepare it.

!!!!!!!Heidi!!!!!!!
LOVE your site and recipes. I read a question about your photography under one of the previous recipes and can't find it (and your reply) for the life of me. Please give a recap of your camera and how you get these amazing shots with the "focus/out of focus" combos etc.
THANKS a million.
ps every recipe I've tried has been fab!

Mmm, wow. I wonder how it would work with, say, framboise lambic instead of porter.

this looks like a very good one to try!!

a bella ma che te stai a 'nventa'!

Hmmm. Interesting idea. Our Mill Street Brewery in Toronto makes a coffee porter. I am wondering if it would work in this recipe. This could be dangerous, mixing my love of tiramisu with my dear S's love of all things beer.

Hope you're feeling better soon!

I laughed out loud when I saw this. Then I decided to make it. Hehe.

This sounds interesting. I have tried to make beer floats with chocolate beer and vanilla ice cream. Those didn't turn out so well. However, Epicurious's recipe for Chimay cake with Guiness Ice Cream, which I would link to but cannot find it on their site, is oddly delicious.

Whoever said that lady finger cookies couldn't be masculine?

Schilio van Coevorden - just saw him at the food show in Amsterdam. He will open another Asian restaurant at the end of this year. They were selling the cookbook in English at the show. His food was stunning.

I stopped thinking there was anything trashy about using beer in desserts when I came upon a recipe for a chocolate Guinness cake, which I then veganized. I get raves every time I make this; most people don't even notice the vegan version is dairyless. This beeramisu, though, looks hopelessly lacto-ovo ... :(

Sounds awful!

beeramisu? haha. this is a "must-try", if only for the name.

mmm...beer.

Just when I thought that beer-appreciation couldn't get any more creative.

Get well soon, lady!

I live in chico and the Sierra Nevada Brewing co. is located here. I can't wait to try this recipe with their porter. I am a pastry chef and have had lady fingers lying around. I've been trying to create a unique recipe that would include lady fingers. This is perfect.

I put this on some menus for my personal chef clients and 2 clients picked it - go figure. I can't wait to 'test' it with a taste!

Any reason Stella D'oro couldn't be substituted for the Italian ladyfingers?

That looks WONDERFUL. Now I know what to make over the weekend. Thank you!

I've always made tiramisu by sprinkling, rather than dunking, with the coffe/liquor mix because I usually make a fresh spongecake. The sprinkling distributes the flavor just fine, without getting anything soggy.

Heidi, what kind of individual serving dishes did you use in these photos? They kind of look like small milkshake glasses. Could I use creme brulee dishes or would they be too shallow?

These look utterly delicious! :) And I love the name of the recipe - I think it adds to the charm. Thanks for sharing.

Well its got beer in it so I'm game, and my hubby and son appear keen to try it too lol...
Thanks

hmm... Sounds yum-yum. If and only if my parents would let me beerify myself.

I'm totally intrigued by Paul Barbano's recipes and would love to try some of them. Is his cookbook still a work in progress or can I get it somewhere?

I bet, this litte beer is good for the heart, fun for the life and sinful indulgence for the taste-buds. Tina, I'm with ya!

Beeramisu, strawberries and Brad Pitt. Must be a sexual combination. Should try this one as an aphrodisiac.

wao this sounds great. ive come to really have a liking for tiramisu since i make it so much at work. hehe. what ive come to love even more is use a whole cake instead of lady fingers, you get the best of all worlds. the cream and the cake...

This sounds great.A must try

I tried out your taco!! Deadly, must give more of recipes a bash. Your the man.

Bleh. Am I the only one who thinks this sounds like it'd be at least as good if not much better without the beer?

if i dnt want to use beer what else can i add..pls!!

Hi Holly, about the camera - here's the HDR write up I did:
http://www.101cookbooks.com/archives/001392.html

Hollie, I can't remember where I got those little glass cups. Maybe a flea market? I have four of them. They are heavy, ribbed, glass, the size of a votive holder.

Anna, you can order his book through Amazon, follow the link up above.

And yes, you can do this recipe without the beer, just make a bit of extra coffee. I liked the beer-twist because really, who needs another standard tiramisu recipe?

Oh dear.

The whole point of this recipe is to switcha classic from coffee to beer.
So yes, you could do it without the beer, it's called a Tiramisù, then, and it's a traditional italian dessert.

But then please don't judge thinking "beer" as in "bud lite". We're talking serious beer tasting of cocoa, coffee, licorice, treacle.

Every time I've done Birràmisu, nobody noticed right away it was soaked with beer instead of coffee and amaretto. Some people remarked it being pretty nice, not too sweet. Indeed the bitterness of the beer tends to give the dish a much better balance tahn with coffee and amaretto.

So please try it before you go bleuargh, because you've probably got no idea of how wonderful it is..

This version seems a touch half-hearted to me anyway.
I've devised my own version of Birramisù a good seven or eight years ago, using a stronger stout and no coffee at all. No vanilla either, but a touch of grated lemon peel.
To imbibe the biscuits, I lay them in the dish and pour the beer on top slowly using a tablespoon. It's a lot easier indeed than dunking.

Well stated.

on a similar note is the new ben & jerry's black & tan ice cream. with which i am thoroughly obsessed. it's sposedly a combo of "stout" ice cream and choc ice cream, swirled. but the stout translates as "malt", and meanwhile the choc part of very fudgesicle-y. no nuts, no chips, none of that junk - just the two ice cream flavors together. FABulous

Delicious! I used half the sugar, and thought it was still plenty sweet. I also tried substituting a Cherry Stout (New Glarus Brewing, WI) for the porter... the cherry made it a little tart, which was great!
