Tiramisu
Watch the video for this recipe:
Nothing goes better in a hot summer day than a chilled dessert. Tiramisu is one of these irresistible desserts that is so easily to put together and requires no cooking. It is rich and fluffy, literally melts in your mouth. No wonder why everybody loves it that much. You can choose to make Tiramisu either in this classic way or make Tiramisu Ice Cream which is incredible delicious too.
For this recipe I have used the classic recipe that doesn't require whipping cream. It is much more better and tastier this way, not too heavy as the Mascarpone cheese is rich enough anyway. Also I have tried to use as less sugar as possible and still remain sweet and delicious. As ladyfingers are sweet you don't need for the Mascarpone mixture to be extremely sweet too. It's good to find the right balance and I would say this is the best Tiramisu ever.
You can use store-bought ladyfingers or in case you don't have any you can make them at home. I have a simple recipe of homemade ladyfingers that you can try.
My daughters love the mascarpone mixture, they could eat it all by themselves. If you want to make a kid friendly Tiramisu cake you can consider dipping the ladyfingers in some cocoa milk syrup instead of espresso and use no liqueur. Of course, it is not really the same taste but kids love it, and this is what is important.
Hope you will try it and don't forget to let me know.

Thank you Ivy for your comment, I am so glad that you liked it. Did you see I also have a frozen version of tiramisu, Tiramisu Ice Cream?. You might like that one too:) Let me know if you give it a try.
Glad you like it. You can just leave the amaretto liqueur out if you don't want to use alcohol, or put a bit of almond extract. It will taste really good like this too.:)
You can substitute 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon almond extract for 2 tablespoons Amaretto.
I've used Regular Granulated Sugar
