Hot water: Must be super hot to dilute the coffee powder.
Instant coffee powder: Adds that signature coffee flavor. Substitute with 15ml brewed espresso if you prefer.
Powdered sugar: Sweetens the mascarpone mixture.
Sponge biscuits/Ladyfingers: The base ingredient for that authentic tiramisu taste.
Cocoa powder: Finishes the truffles with a classic tiramisu touch. For an alternative, dip them in melted chocolate for a richer treat.
