Tiramisu: Original Recipe

I love coffee and chocolate and every combination of these 2 ingredients! Naturally, Tiramisu is one of my favorite desserts that I love to whip up at home. It is made of ladyfingers (savoiardi) or speculos dipped in coffee, layered with a whipped mixture of eggs, sugar, and mascarpone cheese, flavoured with cocoa. I usually prepare it in advance the night before especially if I am expecting guests. Your preparation needs to set for at least 4 hours in the fridge to enhance the flavors for the Tiramisu. Preparation time: 15 Minutes
