Eggless Tiramisu

Tiramisu is a well known Italian dssert and the word tiramisu means pick me up or lift me up,this dessert is made with ladyfingers bisucits aka savoiardi, dipped in coffee and layered with whipped mixture of egg yolks and mascarpone cheese, flavoured with wine and cocoa.Actually its really hard to imagine tiramisu without eggs, that too the savoiardi biscuits its quite a challenging bake without eggs. For our this month's of Eggless Baking, Gayathri and Sowmya of Nivedhanams suggested honestly challenged us to make this incredible Italian dessert. Initially i was planning to make an eggless cake for making this layered tiramisu, but while discussing Gayathri was saying that it will be different and  more challenging if we could make a eggless ladyfingers aka savoiardi biscuits. Then i went on searching and finally i got an incredible eggless saviordi biscuits from Aparna's space. After going through her post, seriously i boosted myself and prepared some eggless saviordi biscuits.

Instead of making tiramisu in a round serving dish, i went for individual servings. These individual servings are really amazing and we really enjoyed thoroughly this medium sized individual tiramisu. Eggless tiramisu turned out extremely prefect.Eventhough these eggless ladyfingers dont have that super soft like texture of the regular lady fingers biscuits,they tastes exactly likesuper  nutty shortbreads. I kept my tiramisu for almost two days in fridge to make this biscuits a bit softer.By the way dont expect that these ladyfingers will turn super soft as like those lady fingers biscuits with eggs.
