Tip
Chill time is essential for tiramisu. After assembling the layers, it is best to refrigerate the dessert for a few hours or, if possible, overnight. This resting period allows the flavours to mingle and develop, resulting in a more harmonious taste. Additionally, it helps the tiramisu set properly, ensuring a firm and luscious texture, making slicing and serving easier.
