            Quick FAQ<\/h2>\n\n

            Can I use decaffeinated?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

            Yes: choose a deca with good body (CO\u2082 or water) and keep the same doses.<\/p>\n\n

            Better hot or cold coffee in creams?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

            Warm: avoids disassembling eggs\/cream and does not “cook” the mascarpone.<\/p>\n\n

            Can I prepare in advance?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

            Yes: tiramisu and mousse up to 24 h before; toffee sauce regenerates in bain-marie.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
