Tiramisu Affogato    In Italian, affogato literally means drowned. Typically just ice cream with espresso, this tiramisu version is a little more grown-up with the addition of mocha liqueur and ladyfingers and topped with chocolate sauce.  6 ladyfingers cookies, crushed  4 scoops vanilla ice cream  4 ounces mocha liqueur  Chocolate sauce   Divide crushed ladyfingers in the bottom of four cocktail glasses (I use rocks glasses). Add a scoop of ice cream to each, and top with an ounce of liqueur followed by a drizzle of chocolate sauce. Serve immediately.    Tip    When guests arrive, put the spirals in the oven. Then pop open a bottle of sparkling Prosecco (Italian wine). The 20 minutes the lasagna has to bake is the perfect amount of time to have a drink and set the tone for dinner.
