Classic Tiramisu is one of my family’s go-to dessert whether it is an occasion or whenever we need some comfort. However, on this Valentine day, I decided to make it with a twist by incorporating fresh strawberries that are abundant in winters. It is a delicious combination of the goodness of fruit & richness of the cheese; Flavourful and delightful.
