Strawberries and Cream Tiramisu Parfait

Decadent coffee flavoured sponge finger biscuits with a hint of rum for a traditional Tiramisu flavour, putting a spin on this high fat dessert with a low in fat Strawberries and Cream filling!

The perfect New Years Eve dessert, and New Years Resolution all in one! Tiramisu is one of those favourite desserts of mine I need to order at every restaurant. I love it. I can never get enough of Tiramisu. Coffee soaked in biscuits with coffee and sprinkled with chocolate?

I’ve made Tiramisu French Toasts and Tiramisu Blondies….but a Parfait would be perfect at a New Years Eve bash.

And as usual, my love of high fat stuff gets me into so much trouble, so my brain went in to over-drive to create something as equally decadent with the feeling of ‘I’m totally cheating on my diet,’ without really cheating.

Enter Strawberries and Cream. Armed with my magic bullet and a tonne of strawberries, this was so amazing, so creamy, and so rich, my family were moaning and groaning the whole time….in a good way.

In short — make this. Your taste buds will love you.
