None of my friend believes but this is a diet friendly tiramisu. By using 'light' products and sugar substitute this fluffy soft dessert gives us what we need....bottomless, guiltless and pure joy of full flavor after meal. Nice brandy and vanilla extract add rich flavor and expresso gives a sharp kick.
