My mom went to the supermarket the other day after a visit to the dentist’s clinic. She brought this treat home:
Eli’s Cheesecake Tira Mi Su Sampler
Tira mi su is a popular Italian dessert that means “pick me up” in English. It is made up of sponge biscuits or stale cake dipped in a mixture of coffee and rum, topped with a mixture of mascarpone’ cheese, egg yolks, cream and sugar, and then crowned with a dusting of cocoa.
The sampler has four variants– the original tira mi su, chocolate, white chocolate, and caramel. With three slices of each variant, there’s plenty to go around!
Original Tiramisu, White Chocolate and Caramel
I’ve tried all four, and I liked all of them. It’s safe to say that I wasn’t disappointed. Well except for the size of the portion. It was a bit to small for me, but then again I do like my cake slices big! Other than that, it was pure heaven! The mascarpone’ layer was not too sweet, very smooth and very creamy!
Chocolate Tiramisu
Eli’s Tira mi su Sampler and Cheesecakes are available at Robinson’s Supermarket and Makro outlets. You can also order online at www.elicheesecake.com.

Ooooh I didn’t know that! How much for these?
I’m waiting for Ryan to share the price as well. It was GOOD. I tried the chocolate, and it wasn’t too chocolate-y and has the right mix of chocolate and coffee. Really nice. The White Chocolate was pretty good as well. Not too sweet.
Nice blog Nina. Good luck.
@anna-
it is 512 pesos @ robinson’s supermarket. =)
500 is not bad for 4 different slices. Yum
Actually that 500 is for 8 (or was it 12?) slices of Tiramisu. Sulit no?
It was 12 slices in total. There are four variants with 3 slices of each. Sobrang sulit.
