FAQ:
Can I make tiramisu ahead of time?
Yes! Tiramisu actually tastes better when made ahead of time, as the flavors have time to meld together. It can be prepared a day before serving and kept refrigerated.
Can I use store-bought mascarpone?
While homemade mascarpone is ideal, store-bought mascarpone works perfectly well for this recipe, provided it is fresh and creamy.
What can I use instead of raw eggs?
If you are concerned about using raw eggs, you can substitute them with pasteurized eggs or use an egg-free tiramisu recipe that uses whipped cream as the base for the filling.
Can I freeze tiramisu?
While tiramisu is best enjoyed fresh or after a short refrigeration time, you can freeze it. To do so, cover it tightly with plastic wrap and foil. When ready to serve, let it thaw in the refrigerator overnight.
Tiramisu is a dessert that’s as simple as it is sophisticated. By sticking to the traditional recipe, you’ll create a dessert that’s full of authentic flavor and texture. Whether it's a special occasion or just a treat for yourself, this Italian classic is sure to impress!
