Tiramisu is a classic Italian dessert made with layers of coffee-soaked ladyfingers and a rich, creamy filling made from Mascarpone cheese. While delicious, traditional Tiramisu is high in calories and sugar. This Healthy Tiramisu recipe swaps Mascarpone cheese for Quark and incorporates mixed berries to provide a healthier, guilt-free dessert option. The mixed berries add an extra burst of fruity flavor and provide health benefits in the form of antioxidants.

Instructions

1.	In a bowl, stir together Quark and confectioner's sugar until well combined.
2.	In a separate bowl, mix coffee and Kahlua together.
3.	Dip each sponge cake finger into the coffee and Kahlua mixture until coated.
4.	In a 9x13 inch dish, place a layer of the soaked sponge cake fingers.
5.	Spread half of the Quark mixture over the sponge cake layer.
6.	Sprinkle half of the mixed berries over the Quark layer.
7.	Repeat with another layer of soaked sponge cake fingers, Quark mixture, and mixed berries.
8.	Sprinkle the finely grated chocolate over the top layer of mixed berries.
9.	Cover and place in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight, before serving.

PROS

This healthier version of Tiramisu satisfies dessert cravings while being lower in calories and sugar than traditional Tiramisu.

The mixed berries add a dose of antioxidants to the dish.

CONS

While healthier than traditional Tiramisu, this recipe is still a dessert and should be enjoyed in moderation.

The use of Kahlua in the recipe may not be suitable for children or those avoiding alcohol.
