In Italian, tiramisù means “lift me up.” This interpretation of the classic dessert is from Hidemi Walsh of Plainfield, IN. It appears in liquid form and is equal parts refreshing and decadent.
The recipe contest judge noted this recipe is such a crdative way to use strawberries and is sure to please a crowd since it uses almond milk as a substitute for dairy.
