Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the final flavor of your tiramisu. Look for fresh, organic ingredients whenever possible.
- Don't overbeat the eggs. Overbeaten eggs will make the tiramisu dense and rubbery. Beat them just until they are light and fluffy.
- Let the tiramisu rest overnight. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop. If you're short on time, you can chill the tiramisu for at least 4 hours before serving.
- Serve the tiramisu cold. This will help to firm it up and make it easier to slice.
