FAQs

Is there real alcohol in tiramisu?

Yes, tiramisu does contain real alcohol. Our recipe has Kahlua, but traditionally, tiramisu is made with Marsala wine in the filling. The fingers are traditionally soaked in a mixture of alcohol and coffee.

Can you eat tiramisu straight away?

Tiramisu tastes best after it’s been left to chill for a little bit! Resist temptation and let your recipe sit overnight to experience the best flavours. Soaking overnight means the fingers will absorb the flavour of the cream and become even softer. 

Is tiramisu better hot or cold?

Tiramisu is best served cold or at room temperature. To make the most of its delicious flavours, take your tiramisu out of the fridge and let it sit for up to half an hour before serving.
