Today’s recipe is more of a treat then a trick. If I had to pick one of my favorite desserts I would have to say tiramisu. I hate to order it when we go out to dinner, because it’s really hard to find a good one. If you make it at home there’s a lot of waiting and it takes a while to make a good one. Then there’s the mess factor as my hubby would call it with cocoa all over the place. Well, I’ve found something even better! This is really good made in advance since it takes 4 hours in the fridge to chill. I don’t know while because it tasted the same and looked the same as when I made it, but whatever it’s in the directions for a reason! This is one of those dishes that inspires me to change up a classic dish to something totally different like a dip. I do hope you try this it’s really really good!!
