Passion by Gérard Dubois serves up a more sophisticated version that caters to serious tiramisu lovers. The ladyfinger base seems to be heavily soaked in rum and coffee, as the subtle aftertaste of espresso tends to linger on the tongue. Notably, the well-soaked base isn't soggy, which is considered a key factor when gauging a well-composed tiramisu. The mascarpone custard in the middle layer is rich, but neither too heavy nor too sweet.
