Easy Tiramisu for Kids

Recipe Description

If you are planning to throw a party for kids and looking for dessert inspo, look no further! This Easy Tiramisu for Kids is made with chocolate milk instead of coffee and contains neither eggs nor alcohol. The recipe takes just 10 minutes, plus several hours chilling. And it’s big enough for your kids and all their friends.

 Using just six ingredients makes this recipe so simple. You can add a little extra decoration with chocolate flakes or shavings, too. A few tips: For best results, use cold mascarpone and whipping cream before starting. It will help the cream whip much faster. Make sure to dip your ladyfingers into chocolate milk swiftly. Otherwise, they will turn soggy. The minimum time to refrigerate the tiramisu is five hours, but it’s better to chill it overnight.
