Sharing Recipes--Tiramisu

This dessert provides the perfect ending to any Valentine's Day meal.

Stories have been told about how Tiramisu was the favorite of Venice's courtesans, who needed a "pick me up" to fortify themselves between their amorous encounters.

It is very difficult to describe this dessert to anyone who has never tasted it. Imagine a light-mocha-flavored-whipped-cream concoction on lady finger pastry soaked in strong espresso coffee with a tantalizing hint of amaretto liqueur.

Enjoy!

250 ml Nutriwhip Lite
