Tiramisu di Timio (Fancy Tim Hortons) by Erik of Fancy Fast Food Ingredients: 1 dozen Canadian Maple Donuts 1 small box of Chocolate Glazed Timbits 1 large coffee First, slice a few of the Timbits in half, like they are cherry tomatoes. Then, place them flat-side down on a non-stick baking sheet. Put them in a pre-heated oven at 400°F for about 15-20 minutes until they start to get hard.While that’s going, shuck the Canadian Maple Donuts like they are oysters, and extract their creamy fillings into a bowl. You now have a pile of empty donut “shells;” cut them down into rectangular “lady finger” shapes.Pour some of Timmy Ho’s (Timio’s) coffee into a bowl and then, dip each lady finger in it; make it moist enough to mold, but not fall apart. With each moistened lady finger, build a layer of cake in a mini-bread pan. The next layer of the tiramisu is the cream, so add a layer of that on top of the lady fingers, and then flatten it down before adding another layer of coffee-infused lady fingers and one more layer of cream. When that’s done, let it chill in the refrigerator for a while. (You may speed up the chilling process by using a freezer.)Once chilled, take the soon-to-be-fancy dessert out of the pan, cut it into smaller servings to your liking, and place each on a fancy white plate. Garnish the top by grating the hardened Chocolate Glazed Timbits into a thin layer of powder, and serve with coffee. And presto! An Italian dessert by a hockey player! It’s sort of like Canada meets Italy, eh? If you are viewing this recipe in an aggregator (like tumblr’s Dashboard), or as a reblogged post, please check out the real website at FancyFastFood.com.

Tiramisu di Timio (Fancy Tim Hortons) by Erik of Fancy Fast Food

Ingredients:

  • 1 dozen Canadian Maple Donuts
  • 1 small box of Chocolate Glazed Timbits
  • 1 large coffee

While that’s going, shuck the Canadian Maple Donuts like they are oysters, and extract their creamy fillings into a bowl. You now have a pile of empty donut “shells;” cut them down into rectangular “lady finger” shapes.

Pour some of Timmy Ho’s (Timio’s) coffee into a bowl and then, dip each lady finger in it; make it moist enough to mold, but not fall apart.
