believe no dish is too difficult to make, even if the recipe calls for ingredients that are hard to come by and too expensive. You just need some imagination to use substitutes, add something new and you can still come up with something finger-licking good. And in the case of this tiramisu that I made, it was spoon-licking good!

Yes, today I am sharing the recipe of my version of a tiramisu, where I skipped the expensive and imported ingredients of mascarpone cream cheese and ladyfingers. While I did have confidence that it would taste good, I was surprised that it turned out so delicious! Seriously, it is one of my best experiments in the kitchen and so super easy to make!

For those who do not know what a tiramisu is, it is a classic Italian no-bake dessert, made with layers of coffee-soaked ladyfingers surrounded by lightly sweetened whipped cream and mascarpone mixture.

I substituted ladyfingers with our local cake rusk — after all, in these tough economic times, we should be relying on cheaper local substitutes. And I skipped mascarpone cream cheese altogether, just flavoured the cream with condensed milk for more richness. Oh, and I added chocolate chips in the centre layer because … why not?

The layering process was the same as in making tiramisu and the result was a show-stopper creamy dessert that was ready in minutes. So let’s check out this easy recipe.
