It was certainly softer than the sponge finger things but it wasn't mushy, even with the overnight fridge stay.
My dips were quicker than the recipe, and even though its texture isn't as nice as the classic the improved flavour more than made up for it.
I fancied a change from trifle and did this tiramisu for Xmas lunch and it was a huge hit.
Really easy and good way to get rid of any leftover panettone. Strong recommend.
