Banana Cream Tiramisu
This dessert is easy to make, and the look and taste are elegant!
Tips
- One variation is the Maple Walnut and Pear Tiramisu: Substitute vanilla pudding for the chocolate pudding and a 14-oz (398 mL) can of pear halves (packed in pear juice) for the bananas. Add ¼ cup (50 mL) chopped walnuts to the middle layer. Do not put pears in the middle layer, but add ¼ cup (50 mL) pear juice to the pudding mixture. Garnish the top of the tiramisu with the pear halves down the middle.
