✨ Notes & Tips

  • Slice cucumbers thin for elegance, not aggression.
  • Use espresso instead of coffee for a high-octane tiramisu moment.
  • Let tiramisu rest—flavors need therapy time too.
  • Garnish salad with toasted sesame seeds if you're feeling extra.
  • Store tiramisu covered in the fridge for 3 days. Good luck making it last that long.
