Ladies and gentlemen, I introduce you to… living foods Tiramisu.

Thank you, thank you – please hold the applause. This incredible gem of a dessert came to be when my friend Jack Cross (see his awesomeness on Facebook here) mentioned we needed to make it. As I’m new to the Verita Life clinic in Bangkok, Thailand at the moment, I figured, “Hey – why not! Let’s start off on a wonderfully vibrant and awesome foot.”

And so it was born. Inspired by a previous recipe that crawled out of the Blooming Raw recipe vault, it has been re-done (and pleaded for many times) and shared below for you to follow.
