Perfectly sweet and delicious this Banana Tiramisu recipe will make you never want another dessert again! If you are looking for an awesome super easy summertime or holiday dessert, this is it!

Basic Ingredients Needed:

• Ladyfingers are perfect for making traditional tiramisu and this summer version. They are sweet, finger-shaped sponge cakes. Use hard ladyfingers, not soft ones, because soft ones will get mushy after a day in the fridge
• Mascarpone cheese is Italian cream cheese that tastes like cream and has a smooth consistency. I don’t recommend using cream cheese instead because this would change the typical tiramisu flavor.
• Banana Tiramisu will taste best if you use fresh and good quality bananas.

If you’d like to keep your bananas from oxidizing and turning a brownish color, you can brush the banana slices with a little lemon juice to prevent browning.

The Banana Tiramisu recipe is so darn simple that anyone can make it the hardest part is having the patience to let the tiramisu chill long enough and ladyfingers to soften.

Classic Banana Tiramisu starts with the layer of ladyfingers layered with a perfectly creamy mascarpone mixture and banana slices and covered with cool whip.
