Easy Trail Tiramisu
Easy Trail Tiramisu
Tiramisu is one of my family’s beloved sweets, and I’ve always dreamed about having it in the backcountry, too. So, I’ve adapted the original recipe so it can be just as tasty, but more suitable for cooking and eating outdoors. This super simple version of the classic Italian dessert lets you make this restaurant favorite even on the trail.
