Fast and Easy Tiramisu

I’m a SUCKER for tiramisu (and cake!) — especially when it’s FAST and EASY. However, I never order it when I’m out at a restaurant. Why?

1. Too expensive

2. Too full

3. Feel guilty because Handsome won’t eat any of it because he doesn’t like coffee.

So how do I get my tiramisu fix? Make it! I bought a Philidelphia Cookbook a while back and was STOKED to see this recipe.

I was initially afraid to try it because it calls for coffee. DUH. How did I not know this? No wonder it tastes so delicious…. Finally got brave enough to go buy decaf coffee and give it a go.

Not only is this delicious, but it was SUPER easy.
