What To Serve With It

I love pairing tiramisu with a strong cup of coffee, like espresso, to bring out its rich flavors even more. For dessert companions, I often serve it with fresh berries or a light sorbet to balance its sweetness. It’s a simple way to make the whole experience feel extra special.

Coffee Pairings

While tiramisu is already packed with coffee flavor, pairing it with the right drink can take your dessert experience to the next level. I love exploring different coffee varieties to match its rich, creamy layers. A smooth espresso enhances its boldness, while a mellow latte complements its sweetness. Experiment with flavor profiles—try a nutty Colombian or a fruity Ethiopian brew. It’s all about finding what makes your taste buds sing!

Dessert Companions

Pairing tiramisu with the right coffee is fun, but let’s not stop there—there’s a whole world of desserts and treats that can make your tiramisu moment even better. I love serving it with fresh berries for a pop of color, or a scoop of vanilla gelato to balance its richness.
