Author Notes

Substituting raspberries for the coffee flavoring in a traditional tiramisu works really well.....the raspberries are both sweet and tart and refreshing.!This recipe was adapted from the Yeshivah of Flatbush Taste Cookbook. I like the idea of a giant parfait but you could easily make individual parfaits. A great way to end a 4th of July Celebration. —Joy Betesh
