Tiramisu is very popular Italian dessert and I have already posted the traditional version of this dessert. Today I thought to share this easy version of dessert on special day that is" VALENTINE DAY" Hope you all had a great fun with your valentine's..  Coming to the recipe, here we will be using mix berry sauce for dipping the cake slices. I can say this tiramisu has tangy and sweetish flavour  in it. Like you all know the ladyfingers are used in tiramisu and alternate way is using the basic sponge cake instead of these biscuits. So I have used sponge cake to layer this dessert.... So lets start the recipe and I damn sure you all will enjoy this dessert..
