Can I use homemade pistachio cream?

Yes, absolutely! Homemade pistachio cream is a fantastic option, especially if you want to control the sweetness and get a purer nut flavor. It’s easy to make by blending roasted pistachios with sugar, milk, and a touch of vanilla. Just make sure it’s blended until completely smooth to avoid a grainy texture in your tiramisu cream layer.

Can I use cream cheese instead of mascarpone cheese?

You can! While mascarpone offers that classic, velvety tiramisu texture, cream cheese is a decent substitute, especially in the U.S. where it’s easier to find. To mimic mascarpone’s softness, let the cream cheese come to room temperature and beat it with a little heavy cream until smooth and spreadable. Just note that the flavor will be slightly tangier than with mascarpone.
