Giada De Laurentiis' 3-Ingredient Shakerato Brings Iced Coffee to the Next Level

“I love making tiramisu around the holidays [because] you can make it a few days ahead of a party and it’s always a hit. Who doesn’t love a classic tiramisu?!” said De Laurentiis in her post.

In a separate bowl, De Laurentiis adds 2 teaspoons of sweet Marsala wine to 1½ cups of cooled brewed espresso. She uses Marsala in her tiramisu, but suggests a substitution of 2 teaspoons of rum if you don’t have Marsala on hand.

De Laurentiis adds another layer of dipped ladyfingers and spreads the remaining mascarpone on top. She finishes off the mouthwatering dish with a dusting of cocoa powder, “Like my Nonna used to do.”

The dessert needs to be refrigerated for two hours before being served, but can be refrigerated for up to 3 days, according to the recipe on De Laurentiis' website,Giadzy.
