Pistachio Tiramisu (using King’s Hawaiian Rolls!)
This insanely delicious pistachio tiramisu is layered with whipped pistachio cream, coffee-soaked sweet rolls, and a dusting of cocoa for the ultimate shortcut dessert. It’s nostalgic, fancy-feeling, and ridiculously easy to whip up for a weeknight treat or a back-to-school potluck.

- 1.5 cups Espresso
- 2 shots Coffee Liqueur

Instructions

- Repeat the process with the remaining toasted rolls and layer them on top.
