Loved the recipe! SO glad my friend could enjoy a "light" version of Tiramisu. He says moderation is the key and never to strictly prohibit anything unless labs are at acutely dangerous levels. This will only make someone want it even more. ANYWAY, THANKS. YUMMY.

I am amazed that you are suggesting that this particular recipe is remotely "friendly" for people on dialysis. I realize that everyone is different but practically all of the ingredients listed are prohibited by my father's dietician. I rate this very low. PS I love tiramisu but would not allow my father to enjoy this delicacy.
