TIRAMASU
I’ve never really liked coffee or alcohol based desserts, but tiramisu has always been the exception, something about the consistency of the sponge fingers with the creamy, chocolately topping is just so good! This version uses quark instead of cream, and as sponge fingers are pretty low syn you can create a really lovely dessert for just 5.5 syns!

Notes
If you wanted to cut even more syns from this recipe you could cut down the amount of cocoa powder, or even take out the alcohol. For a twist use cointreau instead of brandy.
