Notes
[‘Use old-fashioned rolled oats for the best texture.’, ‘Chill the oats overnight or at least 6 hours for optimal flavor and consistency.’, ‘Dilute espresso slightly or use decaf if sensitive to caffeine.’, ‘Mascarpone cheese is key for authentic tiramisu flavor, but whipped cream cheese can be used as a lighter alternative.’, ‘Add toppings like cocoa powder, chocolate shavings, or fresh berries for extra flavor.’]
