EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

For 9 grams of fat and 170 calories per serving, substitute reduced-fat cream cheese (Neufchâtel) for the regular cream cheese. Substitute 2 cups frozen (thawed) reduced-fat whipped topping for the beaten whipping cream.

“Carry me up” is the translation for tiramisu, pronounced tir-ruh-mee-SOO. This rich Italian dessert is usually made with mascarpone, a buttery rich, slightly sweet and smooth Italian cream cheese.

This recipe was extremely easy and it tastes fantastic! Just like the dessert you get in the restaurants. I'm a beginner cook/baker and this was one of the easiest desserts I've ever made.

So so so GOOD! THe lady fingers were a little more dry than I like. Will use more coffee on the next time. Made for my husband who had never had tiramisu and he loved it.
