This tropical twist on the classic tiramisu combines the creamy richness of mascarpone with the exotic flavors of coconut. Soaked in coconut milk, the larger variety of ladyfingers (lange vingers) creates a moist base, complemented by a fluffy coconut-infused mascarpone layer and topped with grated coconut, Raffaello confections, and hazelnuts.
