Notes

Storage:
You can store the tiramisu in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. 
Freezing: 
This recipe does not freeze well.
Make ahead of time:
I like to make it the night before and let it chill in the fridge until I'm ready to serve it. You can also make it in the morning and keep it in the refrigerator until it's dessert time.
Alcohol-free tiramisu:
Leave out the Kahlua in the cream mixture entirely or replace it with extra espresso coffee.
