Some things are better in pairs; wine and cheese, bread and butter, berries and cream. The ultimate pair is a wonderful cup of brewed coffee along with a decadent tiramisu dessert made with Starbucks new VIA Italian Roast coffee.
Starbucks has introduced what they are calling a “ready brew”, which is an instant coffee that maintains the aroma and taste of normal brewed coffee. Combining this ease of preparation with the wonderful taste of freshly brewed coffee makes this Italian dessert recipe a real winner.
