Notes

  1. Yield depends on how big or small you slice your cake. Estimated nutrition information is based on 12 servings.
  2. Instead of dunking the cookie in ube syrup, just lightly dip each side. A quick second is really all it takes. Longer than that and your cookie will absorb too much liquid too quickly and fall apart. You can also choose to brush each side with your ube mixture instead of dipping it.
  3. Tiramisu needs time to chill and set. Chilling also allows the ladyfingers to absorb more of that delicious ube mixture.
  4. See post for more tips, FAQs and step-by-step photos.
