Strawberry Tiramisu Dessert

"Better make two pans of this, when you taste this you will know why ;-) Plan ahead this needs to chill a minimum of 4 hours or up to 24 hours before serving. Three cups whipped cream may be used in place of the Cool whip, if you are preparing this 24 hours in advance I would suggest to use the Cool Whip it will hold up better with the refrigeration time."

directions

  1. I've come to the conclusion that the orifice in the lower, middle part of my face that's been there my entire life and that's not only used for communication, but for consumption of nourishment has a mind of its own. It couldn't get enough.
     
  2. This is an absolute wicked dessert, I thank you once again for another winner Kit
     
  3. I made this for an office outing. I didn't have ladyfingers so I used a cake. Nobody cared. This was gone in 60 seconds kinda thing. I took home an empty bowl with just a few crumbs. Thank you!
