A Pure Eggless Tiramisu with eggless savoiardi biscuits

Hi Friends!!!

On April Month,Baknig Eggless was announced to make Tiramisu and I am so happy by hearing it.After visit to an Italian Restaurant named as Olive Garden, we had ordered Tiramisu and we want to taste it how will it be? We tasted  it and we just loved it.It was so drooling.I am waiting for the right time to make tiramisu and it came which is pure eggless one.It is very challenging to make everything as homemade ones.I am sure anybody can do it. I am so thankful to sowmya who suggested it and many thanks to Gayathri for selecting this recipe for April month

Tiramisu means "Pick me up" is an Italian dessert and is famous all over worldwide. Here I made homemade savoirdi biscuits which has no eggs and it tasted lovely and soaked well even though it is flat one and not exact like Ladysfinger savoiardi store bought biscuits. If you cant bake ladysfinger biscuits and it is fine you can use eggless sponge cake.

It reminds me the best own recipe of my mom who made normal biscuits and cream into many layers into the rectangle box and keep in fridge for about 2 days during summer holidays. It is best chilled to have it along with my brother as we used to call chilled biscuit cake alike frozen icecream biscuit :).I didn't know it was alike tiramisu after staying in the U.S. It is my mom's love for it :) We fought with  each other to get the last bit of the chilled dessert and my mom used to say crazy kids :) and the words came true and we were crazy for the sweet tooth desserts :) Lol. I shared with  my daughter about sweet memories of this recipe and she laughed and told again crazy mom :) HaHa :)
