Comments:
This version of tiramisù is very simple to make and surprisingly healthy. We’ve substituted Weetabix biscuits for less nutritious ladyfinger cookies found
in most traditional recipes, Celestial Seasonings vanilla tea for the espresso and brandy, and nonfat plain Brown Cow yogurt for the eggs.
