Tiramisu
Description
Tiramisu is prepared in various ways, but the coffee and cognac soak is always an essential component. The creamy filling perfectly saturates the soft cake layers, resulting in an incredibly delicate dessert with a subtle coffee aroma. Soft sponge cake layers are the foundation of this wonderful Italian dessert.
