Tiramisu

Tiramisu, this Italian dessert is actually layers of biscuits dipped in coffee and cream.

An interesting variation is this one with a lot of history behind it, that is worth trying because it includes all the flavors in the purest form.

The cream is based on tofu , which makes this dessert rich in protein and low in fat. Instead of biscuits (savoiardi) we used carob rusks which perfectly matches the the bittersweet taste of the tiramisu.

The layers finish with what else than cocoa powder!!!
