Tips
- Use a high quality freshly brewed espresso for the best flavour results.
- Avoid preparing a runny tiramisu by leaving the mixture to set for a minimum of 4 hours and even overnight.
- Choose fresh strawberries with lots of flavor. We love using fraises des bois (wild strawberries), fraises gariguette (local French strawberries from the Vaucluse region of France). Use your favorite local strawberries for this recipe.
