Advantages: Perfect party food

Disadvantages: Short shelf life

I stumbled across this product by pure chance. I had originally ordered a single large tiramisu from Marks and Spencers party food catalogue for an 18th birthday buffet lunch party but on collection day it was unavailable so the store substituted it with 2 of these instead.
The tiramisu itself is beautifully presented, its creamy surface is lightly dusted with cocoa powder and has a dark chocolate fan artistically placed on top and has the word 'Tiramisu' written across the top in scrolling handwriting made of cocao powder.
It had an absolutely gorgeous taste - the blend of coffee, chocolate, cream, cake and liqueur was masterfully done and all this was achieved without feeling too stodgy.
The tiramisu easily sliced into 12 portions and was incredibly popular with the guests. I ended up putting both of them out on the buffet table and there were only 2 slices left.
It is not too pricey (for Marks and Spencer) but unfortunately does not freeze so has a relatively short shelf life due to all the cream.
