Notes
Some Notes For Making This Easy Tiramisu Recipe
The recipe for homemade lady fingers follows this Easy Tiramisu recipe. I use sprouted flour or almond flour from my affiliate partners (where to buy sprouted flour) / (where to buy almond flour) for the homemade lady fingers. While they are not as light as the store bought version, they are more healthy.
Extra Tips;
You can swap the liqueurs I've used in this recipe for marsala, coffee liqueur or brandy
Try sprinkling some grated dark chocolate on top
You can use store bought lady fingers if short on time (but remember the health benefits of making homemade)
