Cheats coconut yogurt & chocolate tiramisu parfaits

THE PERFECT SWEET AFTER DINNER PALEO 'PICK ME UP!'

Did you know that tiramisu literally means ‘pick me up’? If you know anything about the original version of the famous Italian dessert mousse cake, then you’ll see that this reimagining is quite a departure, but it does still have that definitive espresso shot to get you ‘up and about’.  

The original with layered ladyfingers (spongey biscuits) and mascarpone cream, doused in strong coffee and booze was all the rage in the 1980s (so I’m told). Its simple construction meant that you didn’t need to be a chef to make it at home! Over the last 30 years, tiramisu’s popularity and decadence has spawned hundreds of adaptations. This refined sugar free, dairy-free, gluten-free, nut-free and paleo version is another to add to the long list of adulterated tiramisus. But don’t let all those healthy credentials fool you! Coconut yogurt is the perfect dairy-free substitute for mascarpone and this is one deliciously decadent, pick-me-up dessert.
