EGGLESS TIRAMISU

Quick, no raw egg, no alcohol

(Suitable for Vegetarians)

I love TIRAMISU, but I cannot have it from most bakery shops in New Zealand because the original recipes use KAHLUA coffee liqueur, which is a top brand of alcohol. Another problem is the egg in its ingredients since Tiramisu is not an oven-bake recipe. That method will make the egg remain raw.  

So, I make it at home, and I have changed the popular dessert's ingredients. For my family, this dessert contains no alcohol and no raw egg. 

This dish will be ready in less than 30 minutes. 

Enjoy.
