Light Fit Persimmon Tiramisu

Light Fit Persimmon Tiramisu is a light, fragrant spoon dessert perfect for persimmon season. This tiramisu is a healthier and more natural version of the classic tiramisu, made with simple and genuine ingredients. No refined sugar, no mascarpone, but a sweet and velvety cream based on ripe persimmons, Greek yogurt, a touch of honey, and cinnamon powder which adds a warm and spicy note that makes this dessert irresistibly autumnal.
The persimmons are blended together with the yogurt and cinnamon to create a soft and fragrant cream. The Pavesini, soaked in orange juice, add freshness and a light contrast of textures, while the final touch of bitter cocoa gives that decisive taste reminiscent of traditional tiramisu. The result is a creamy and light dessert, to be enjoyed with a spoon, combining natural sweetness and lightness.
After a few hours of resting in the fridge, the light fit persimmon tiramisu becomes even more compact and harmonious in flavors. The cream blends with the biscuits, the scent of orange and cinnamon is enhanced, and every spoonful is a small sweet and enveloping treat. It is perfect to prepare in advance, served in transparent glasses or single-serving cups for an elegant yet genuine touch.
This dessert is ideal for those who love light and natural desserts but do not want to give up the pleasure of taste.
