Tiramisu Surprise

Whenever I think of coffee, I think of Tiramisu. I am not addicted to coffee but I surely get indulgent when I have a good Tiramisu in front of me. Tiramisu is surely one of the most amazing cakes you can eat. (if you love coffee and also if you don't :P ) It is a very easy dessert to make if you have all the ingredients available with you. The recipe I am sharing with you is not a very classic recipe. I have modified it as per availability of the ingredients. Classic Tih - Ruh - Mee - SOOO (this is how you pronounce it the right way) has ingredients like Ladyfingers (biscuits), Coffee, Mascarpone, rum, eggs (to make the custard). I didn't find Ladyfingers (these are special finger shaped biscuits made for Tiramisu) and I am a Lacto - vegetarian hence NO EGGS. :P I missed mentioning about Mascarpone cheese, It belongs to the cream cheese category and is very soft and velvety.
