Strawberry Tiramisu
Luckily it is time for another month of Two Sweetie Pies! Another month of 2 Sweetie Pies with That Skinny Chick Can Bake means another wonderful dessert! Always a success when you bake from Liz’s blog! Each month we bake up a recipe from each other and keep it a secret until reveal day! Super fun! Make sure you pop over to visit Liz and see which Hugs & Cookies recipe she chose this month.
This month I went with Liz’s Berry Tiramisu because how can you not love a new version of tiramisu! It did not disappoint. A rich, creamy filling with Grand Marnier and ladyfingers! Thanks once again Liz for a fabulous dessert!
