My advice to have a great Tiramisu

• You can avoid the rum and use just the coffee, the result will be great as well!

• It’s very important that you whip the egg whites very well until they have reached a volume.

• Add the egg whites very slowly to the mixture

• Use only very fresh eggs and of the greatest quality!

• The most delicious variations of the Tiramisu recipe are the Tiramisu with chocolate, or with berries, strawberry, or pineapple! 🙂
