Essential Ingredient Guide
- Mascarpone cheese: Choose a creamy, full‑fat mascarpone for a rich, velvety base; let it soften to room temperature before mixing.
- Kinder Bueno bars: Break the bars into bite‑size pieces; the wafer adds a light crunch that contrasts the silky cream.
- Ladyfinger biscuits: Use classic savoiardi; they absorb coffee without falling apart, creating a perfect layer.
- Espresso or strong coffee: A dark, robust coffee gives the tiramisu its signature lift; cool it before dipping biscuits.
- White chocolate shavings: Adds a subtle sweetness and visual sparkle; grate just before serving for fresh aroma.
- Sugar: Adjust to taste; a little helps balance the coffee’s bitterness without overt sweetness.
