What is coconut cream?
The cream that rises to the top of a can of coconut milk has a higher fat content than coconut milk. For best results, chill your can of coconut milk overnight, so coconut cream can solidify at the top of the can.
Decorating tip
Finely grate fresh lemon zest overtop of your lemon tiramisu just before serving. The vibrant yellow zest not only provides a visually appealing contrast to the creamy tiramisu but also imparts an extra burst of citrus aroma and flavor.
