"This is an easy, no-bake, lower fat version of Tiramisu which my family has enjoyed for years. It's easy to prepare since store-bought Angel food cake is used. An 8-oz container of Mascarpone cheese may be substituted for cream cheese, if you don't care about calories. The only cooking time involves the optional Mocha Fudge Sauce. I'm also posting this in case I lose my "paper" copy!"
