Great post, thanks! My mom makes the best tiramisu in the world, but it's so rich & heavy you can't eat more than a few bites. This sounds wonderful - but I wonder how she'd take it if I e-mailed her the recipe?!

I love tiramisu, but never made it - this looks wonderful.


I didn't know there could be a light version of tiramisu. :) Sounds awesome and guiltless. Thx!


Love tiramisu, is my favorite. Usually make the traditional full fat but not very often because of that. Can't wait to try this version, maybe have it more often!
