Ingredients
  

For the Tiramisu
  • 2 cups mascarpone cheese Softened for easy mixing
  • 1 cup heavy cream Whipped to stiff peaks
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar For sweetness

Notes

For the best flavor, allow the tiramisu to chill overnight. Don't rush the chilling time! You can also swap out mascarpone for coconut cream for a vegan alternative, and mix different liqueurs for varied flavors.
