The great Tiramisu balance

To get an expert's perspective, Briefly News spoke to renowned pastry chef Thato Tumelo, who shared her insights on what makes a perfect Tiramisu.

"The key to a great Tiramisu is balance. The coffee should be strong enough to complement the creamy mascarpone, and the layers should be well-soaked but not soggy.

"The cream-to-cake ratio is crucial, as too much cream can overpower the delicate flavour of the espresso and cocoa."

Tumelo also offered a tip for those making Tiramisu at home:

"Use a high-quality coffee and chill the dessert for several hours before serving. This allows the flavours to meld together, creating a more cohesive and balanced taste."

Peeps love the dessert

Despite the mixed reviews, Tiramisu remains a beloved dessert for many. Some customers recommend trying other variations, like the Tiramisu cake, which has garnered a loyal following. @ThuphentleG commented:
