One of my favorite desserts, tiramisu is basically the Italian answer to cheesecake, the lovely texture of mascarpone, the nutty flavor of espresso. If it isn’t the king of desserts, it surely must be among the royal elite. This recipe gives the taste and textures of classic tiramisu but with reduced sugars for the diabetics or diet conscious among us all.
This is a really simple to prepare dessert that will fool even the most die hard sugar junkie by its smooth mouth feel and wonderful taste.
