Mormon Approved Tiramisu

I’m such a fan of coffee – flavoring that is. Ice cream, candy, and tiramisu are one (of my many) weaknesses. I’ve been on the hunt to create a tiramisu that is is delicious, tastes like the “real thing” and is “Approved”…Mormon Approved Tiramisu. It kind of rhymes, and I like it! It hasn’t been easy. Trust me. There have been some serious road blocks and frustrations, but in the end? I was victorious.

I mean seriously. Just finding the ingredients was a nightmare.
Ladyfingers – Amazon
Decaf coffee – (in a size that won’t feed me until I’m 73?) – Harmons
Mascarpone cheese – Days Market

Ok ok, so those were my biggies, and I’m being SLIGHTLY over-dramatic about the ingredients. The truth is I was stumped. How do I make something delicious and leave out two of the main ingredients (rum and coffee?).

Since I left out the rum flavoring, I was missing a little bit of sweetness. Xylitol to the rescue! I’m not even lying when I say this was the PERFECT addition to my tiramisu. It added the sweetness I needed with a little bit of crunch factor.

I mean, LOOK at those GORGEOUS granules! YUM YUM YUM!

*Disclaimer* Please don’t be angry with me – this IS a “make-the-day-before” kind of dessert. This ensures that the coffee flavoring is totally infused into the dish. Honestly? It’s edible after 4-6 hours, but I waited longer and was NOT disappointed. Just sayin.

    Fyi, I’ve gotten ladyfingers at harmons and the cheapest mascarpone I’ve found is winco. This is fun to make. Glad I’m not the only one who does.

    Decaf coffee is not Mormon approved. It’s still coffee.

    Not “Mormon”-approved even with decaf coffee. Substitute with Café de Orzo or hot chocolate.
