Can you freeze tiramisu? Yes, technically, but it’s like freezing a hug. The texture will suffer. The ladyfingers turn into icy little rocks, and the mascarpone separates like a bad breakup. If you absolutely must freeze it, wrap it in three layers of plastic and a layer of foil, and eat it within a month. But thaw it in the fridge overnight, and expect a sad, weepy version of the original. Frozen tiramisu is the butterfly that forgot how to fly.
