2. Put the mascarpone and sugar in a separate bowl, add milk little by little and mix well with a whisk.

▼ Ideally, the texture will be the same as whipped cream.

Make sure your top layer ends with cream. Smooth the surface of the cream with a knife or the back of a spoon. Cover with plastic wrap or a lid and rest in the refrigerator for at least two hours.

Make sure the tiramisu has been properly cooled in the fridge before serving so it remains nice and solid on the plate.

all tiramisu is tasty, don’t get me wrong but I’ve never had a good Tiramisu in Japan; it’s always bland and weak flavoured

Still, it looks appetizing.
