5. Freeze for 3-4 hours until firm.
Sponge

Plating & Assembly
1. Placing the Sponge
- Arrange sponge on a chilled plate.
2. Tiramisu Triangle Positioning
- Unmold the frozen tiramisu filling and position it adjacent to the sponge, ensuring a structured yet deconstructed layout.
- Allow it to slightly thaw before serving for a creamy texture.
3. Coffee Ganache Piping
- Using a fine piping nozzle, pipe elegant streaks of coffee ganache over and around the plated components.
4. Final Garnishing
- Lightly dust the dish with high-quality cocoa powder for a classic tiramisu aesthetic.
