How to Freeze Tiramisu

Tiramisu is a decadent Italian dessert made of ladyfingers, mascarpone cheese, sugar, eggs and soaked in coffee and liqueur. This dessert freezes very well as lady fingers, the main component, are similar to sponge cake which also freezes very well.

The process for freezing tiramisu is similar to freezing brownies, freezing cupcakes, and freezing sponge cake.

Step one

To freeze your tiramisu, you want to start out by removing any cocoa solids or other toppings if possible. If you cannot remove them, that is okay, however they may get mushy when thawed.

Step two

Next, you'll want to decide what serving size you'll be using when you thaw your tiramisu. You'll want to cut or portion the tiramisu into your appointed serving sizes so that you can pull out individual servings to thaw them.

Step three

Now, you'll want to get your tiramisu wrapped thoroughly so that it will not get freezer burn or degradation of quality and texture when frozen.

To do this, start out by taking plastic wrap and cutting off a piece that will thoroughly wrap around your portion of tiramisu.
