- Substitute hazelnut-flavoured liqueur with 1/4 cup of orange juice - This substitution will provide a more subtle flavour to the tiramisu, while still providing a hint of sweetness.
- Substitute hazelnut milk chocolate with dark chocolate - This substitution will provide a richer, more intense flavour to the tiramisu, while still providing the same chocolaty notes.
Fruity Tiramisu Replace the hazelnut milk chocolate with fresh fruit slices such as strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries. Replace the hazelnut-flavored liqueur with orange juice and omit the coffee granules. Replace the chocolate hazelnut spread with a fruit jam of your choice and omit the brown sugar from the topping.
