Tiramisu

Tiramisu is Roman dessert that literally means "pick me up" and that is just what this dessert does as it is light, very flavorful, and it does not require any cooking! You can use any liqueur you like such as Amaretto, Rum, Whiskey, Kahlua, or even Marsala wine. It tastes best the next day so it's a great day ahead dessert to make.
