Whiskey tiramisu is a refined blend of Italian classic and bold elegance. Originating from Italy, this dessert is traditionally known for its delicate texture, rich coffee aroma, and light sweetness. The addition of whiskey gives it a spicy depth of flavor, highlighting the creamy softness of mascarpone and the lightness of whipped egg whites. Savoiardi soaked in strong coffee with whiskey create a harmonious combination of moisture and structure. The composition is completed by cocoa powder and dark chocolate, adding subtle bitter notes. This tiramisu is perfect for dinner with a strong drink or a special evening when you want to indulge in something exquisite and sensual.
