This recipe uses whipped cream, instead of the traditional mascarpone cheese. My hubs turned 50 a few weeks ago. We had a low-key dinner as our family back home were sick and no one was in the mood to celebrate. I made this quick little Tiramisu dessert, and he is a big fan of coffee.

Ingredients:
A pack of vanilla ladysfinger wafers (About 24 pieces)
