Italian Light Tiramisu My Signature Dessert

Healthy Debbie's Note:

If you have viewed my other recipes, you might have picked up that I favor low fat, low sugar recipes. Some people might think ---why? Where is all the fun of eating gone? If you try this recipe, you will quickly discover that flavor and low calories, low fat can go together. This is becoming my signature dessert. My family raved about it and yours will, too! The majority of the ingredients and technique came from a Nilla Wafers cookie box but I have modified it to the "light" side.

Family loved it.Easy to make, comes out looking like you spent a LOT more time on it. I used choc syrup instead of the bars of choc because I'm just lazy like that--made it decorative though, too.
