Tiramisu meaning lift me up is a coffee flavoured Italian dessert. This decadent Italian dessert is popular all around the world. Tiramisu has a lot of variations but the basic recipe is the same.
Savoiardi i.e lady finger sponge is dipped in a coffee mixture and then layered with mixture of eggs sugar and mascarpone cheese.
I am posting this recipe with slight changes to the original version. Instead of savoiardi I am using sponge cake and I will add fresh cream with mascarpone cheese. I will be omitting eggs, some variations of tiramisu are without eggs.
