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!

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your tiramisu will taste. Try to use organic or farm-fresh eggs, mascarpone cheese, and cream.
- Don't overbeat the eggs: Overbeaten eggs will make your tiramisu dense and rubbery. Beat them just until they are light and fluffy.
- Use a good quality coffee: The coffee flavor is one of the most important elements of tiramisu. Use a dark roast coffee with a strong flavor.
- Let the tiramisu rest: After you assemble the tiramisu, let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight. This will allow the flavors to meld and the tiramisu to set.
- Serve the tiramisu chilled: Tiramisu is best served chilled. Serve it with a dusting of cocoa powder or grated chocolate.
