The true Tiramisu is an Italian famous dessert that's made with eggs, and very and a creamy layer of delectable cheese filling inside with ladyfingers.
This dip is a true dead-on flavor for tiramisu and is made in less than 10 minutes so it great for every occasion, holiday, birthday, picnics, and even date night.
If you want the easiest dip and best ever party dip ever, our Italian Tiramisu Dip is the one and the only one you'll ever need.
Although ladyfingers are one of the best dipping suggestions we various fruits like strawberries (or pineberries which are a cross between strawberries and pineapple in flavor and white in color you'll see them in one of our photos below).
We usually find them around April and if you haven't had the pleasure of trying pineberries these make an excellent addition to your dipping trays!
