Remarks
For a more gourmet version, leave out the milk and double the amount of cream.
If you don't have poultry juices, meat juices or a little broth will work just as well. If you don't want to use any, remember to add a little more salt.
Just before serving, you can add a dash of white wine, or even a few drops of vinegar, to the slices of bread for a touch of freshness.

Tiramisu
Classic italian recipe (the name means "pull me up" or more poetically, "take me up to the sky"). It's similar to a charlotte in its structure: layers of flavoured biscuits between layers of smooth cream. July 27th 2013519 K5 50 min.
