Can I make the tiramisu the day before I need to serve it?
Absolutely! In fact, making the tiramisu the day before you plan to serve it is recommended, as it allows the flavors to meld together and the ladyfingers to soften. Just be sure to cover it tightly with plastic wrap to store it in the refrigerator until you’re ready to serve.
