Tips
- Ensure all dairy and eggs are at room temperature for the smoothest mascarpone cream consistency.
- Chill the tiramisu thoroughly for at least 4 hours to allow the flavors to meld beautifully.
- Brew strong espresso and allow it to cool completely before dipping the ladyfingers to avoid a bitter taste.
