Tiramisu

First attempt at Tiramisu, and it turned out decent. The flavours were just perfect and it’s an eggless recipe.

Tips: 

• You can prepare the coffee by mixing 3 tbsp instant coffee in 1.5 cup of hot water. Bring to room temperature before dipping the lady fingers
• Don’t over dip the lady fingers in coffee, quickly dip and lay them
• Mascarpone Cheese should be at room temperature, it’s easy to mix in the whipped cream
• Keep Tiramisu in refrigerator for at least 8 hours or a day before serving.
