Notes
Almond Tiramisu is best made the day before so the flavors have time to marry.
If you don't have marsala wine, you can substitute with brandy or rum.
For a non-alcoholic version, use decaffeinated coffee and omit the marsala wine.
This recipe can easily be doubled to feed a larger crowd. Simply use a 9x13 inch baking dish.
If you want a little more chocolate flavor, you can sprinkle the top with cocoa powder before serving. Or, for a fun twist, substitute the toasted almonds with toasted hazelnuts.
