ITALIAN LIGHT TIRAMISU MY SIGNATURE DESSERT
If you have viewed my other recipes, you might have picked up that I favor low fat, low sugar recipes. Some people might think ---why? Where is all the fun of eating gone? If you try this recipe, you will quickly discover that flavor and low calories, low fat can go together. This is becoming my signature dessert. My family raved about it and yours will, too! The majority of the ingredients and technique came from a Nilla Wafers cookie box but I have modified it to the "light" side.
