How long will leftover Tiramisù keep in the fridge?
Tiramisu is best when eaten fresh, after the initial 4-6 hours of refrigeration. If it’s kept in the refrigerator it tends to get soggy and the texture is not as good. If you choose to refrigerate leftover Tiramisu, you can still eat it for up to 3 days. After that, it should be thrown out.
Can you freeze Tiramisù?
It is not recommended to freeze Tiramisu. This is because it alters the texture too much and after it’s thawed the cream is not as good and the lady finger layers begin to break down and turn to mush. We recommend eating it while it’s fresh for best results.
Can you make Tiramisù ahead of time?
Our Tiramisu recipe calls for the whole cake to chill for 4-6 hours, after it’s assembled but before you cut into it and serve it. With this in mind, you’ll need to plan ahead to make it. However, we don’t recommend making it much in advance of the 6 hours before you plan to serve it as it’s best when fresh.
