I got this recipe off from my friend who made one of the best tiramisu I’ve ever had. It was my first time making Tiramisu and it was surprisingly easy and almost fool-proof. The tiramisu tasted so good that I made two batches (one in a tray and the other in wine glasses) because I knew that it would be a hit at the dinner party and I was absolutely right!

1. Dissolve 8 tbs of instant coffee with 200ml warm water. Add 8 tbs of Kahlua into the mixture and mix well

5. Fold the mixture into 500g of mascarpone cheese
