HOW TO IMPROVE THE PLATE
Four principles for this dish.
Tiramisu combines soft layers with dark cocoa. A defined portion and a few precise accents keep the plate from feeling heavy or busy.
Control the cocoa
Keep cocoa on the dessert or within a defined area instead of dusting the entire plate.
Use cream as a second shape
A small quenelle or a few dots contrast with a rectangular main portion.
Preserve negative space
Visible plate surface is especially effective beside dark cocoa and coffee tones.
