Buttermere Patisserie Café

Tiramisu 3.0
Tiramisu 3.0
Prices: $7.50 per slice or $65 whole cake
Created by: Jamie Tung
Description: Unlike the traditional tiramisu, we add the twist of textures to our Tiramisu 3.0. In this cake challenge, we combine graham cracker with generous amount of cocoa powder to create cheesecake base texture. Instead of traditional ladyfinger biscuits, we use Cacao Barry chocolate sponge soaked with strong coffee flavoured liqueur, Kahlua. Soft and creamy mascarpone is the must have in tiramisu, however, in our version of Tiramisu we add a hit of Nutella for the nutty flavour and turn the cream into mousse texture, so the overall mouthfeel is well balance.
Offered: cake creation (by the slice) available in our café, and whole cake 6” available on our to order from our website .
