Low-fat Tiramisu

Whenever I feel a bit down and in need for a healthy-as-possible option for a chocolaty treat, Tiramisu is my favorite.
Tiramisu is Italian for 'pick me up' and I found a great low-fat version on the www.channel4.com website. My personal add-on tip, try fresh fruit such as blueberries or strawberries.
