LOW-FAT TIRAMISU
Well I don't suppose ANY Tiramisu is going to be fat-free and still taste like Tiramisu. But this recipe is certainly lower in fat than some of the totally delicious, totally decadent Tiramisu recipes around! It is classified by "The Australian Women's Weekly" as being medium GI, so at least it's not through-the-roof high GI!. Adapted from "The Australian Women's Weekly" website.

LOW-FAT, EASY TIRAMISU
Light, easy and delicious! Truly tastes gourmet, and no one ever notices that it's a healthier version. In some recipes the ladyfingers have to be split in half (messy and time consuming) - in this recipe the ladyfingers are used whole. Has less of that artificial taste then recipes with the artificial whipped topping. Also, this recipe has no egg, which when uncooked and at room temperature, can be unsafe. You can also completely or partially replace the sugar with Splenda or Equal if you like; if not use all sugar. You may want to use decaf. coffee if you are eating this as a night time dessert!
