Food Facts

Traditional tiramisu, which when translated means "carry me up," is a dessert made with ladyfingers dipped in coffee, which are then layered with mascarpone and grated chocolate. This easy-to-make version uses light cream cheese spread and Cool Whip instead of the mascarpone, and cocoa powder instead of the grated chocolate.

Note

Dessert can be refrigerated up to 2 days before serving.

Both my husband and I just love this, and it is my standard for company. So easy and delicious. I usually use the block of cream cheese softened rather than the tub.
