My classic Tiramisu recipe has layers of coffee-soaked sponge cake ladyfingers topped with decadent, rum-flavored cream. While other recipes use raw eggs in the cream, my recipe cooks them low and slow for the perfect texture and flavor! This iconic Italian no-bake dessert is easy enough for a beginner and is best made the night before to allow the flavors to meld. Your whole crowd will agree, this is truly the best homemade tiramisu.
