FOOD FIND: Maggiano's Berry Tiramisu

For those people who do not enjoy coffee, but have always wanted to try tiramisu, there is finally a dessert out there for you! Maggiano's is now featuring a "Berry Tiramisu" for their Eat-A-Dish for Make-A-Wish campaign. For every dish you order from the special Make-A-Wish menu, $1 is donated to the foundation. What a great concept, right? You not only get to enjoy a delicious meal, but you're also donating to a great cause. Here is my review on this tasty dessert & a picture to go along with it.

Let me start by saying that this "tiramisu" does not taste like coffee at all. Hence the name, Berry Tiramisu. This dessert has blackberries, strawberries, and blueberries which compliment the cake very well. The tiramisu itself is very light and fluffy. What I love about this dessert is that it is not overly sweet. Usually when I eat cake that contains berries, the sweetness of the cake overpowers the taste of the berries, but not in this case. The whipped topping is very light and has just the perfect amount of sweetness. Overall, all aspects of this dessert compliment each other nicely. You distinctly taste each flavor and they all go together very well. The tartness (if that's even a word!) of the blackberries, the crispness of the strawberries, and the sweetness of the blueberries offer different tastes, but all come together as one delicious bite when combined with the cake-Perfect!

The appearance is great as well. The colors of the berries add vibrancy to the plate, as well as the light colors from the cake for contrast. This dessert also comes in a fairly big portion so it's perfect for sharing. I definitely recommend this dessert, especially for those people that want dessert despite the fact that they are so full. C'mon, we all know the feeling! The lightness of the Berry Tiramisu offers just the perfect amount of dessert for those with a sweet tooth after a big meal! You can order one of these for a limited time at your local Maggiano's and you can also donate $1 to the Make-A-Wish foundation. You cannot go wrong! Enjoy!
