Strawberry Tiramisu
File this one under "everything in moderation" This is not what I would call a healthy recipe, but it is extremely delicious - and it's strawberry season, so I'm celebrating with my version of Tiramisu! Fresh strawberries, Frangelico, and mascarpone whipped cream. Oh my! All this and no baking necessary. When I make this "just because", I cut the recipe in half, or make individual portions, because I could easily eat the entire thing myself.
Eat well!

I adore Frangelico! I'll bet it's delicious with strawberries. And love, love that an RD uses real whipped cream from time to time! (I do too.) Am pinning now...perfect for strawberry season right now!
