I love tiramisu as does my family but it is soooo fattening, the whole through the lips on the hips kinda dessert. As you know I am in another recipe swap this month and I found this recipe from one of my groups selection so I thought I would try it. It was excellent the flavour was awesome and we gobbled it right up, I have to say I still prefer my more traditional version of this dessert but for a low fat version this has to be my favourite. I am the first to review this recipe so there are no other photos or reviews for it but if you would like to see the original version please click here. Please note that I did not alter this recipe at all except for adding some raspberries as was suggested at the bottom of the recipe, as I have a raspberry bush in my back yard and had a lot that needed using up.
