If you love tiramisu, you need to try our Canadian twist with the infusion of maple syrup. Our recipe takes the classic layers of mascarpone and coffee-soaked biscuits and elevates them into something that is familiar, but excitingly new. It is the perfect sweet finish for a festive gathering, offering a blend of espresso with the natural sweetness of pure Canadian maple syrup. The maple syrup adds a delicate sweetness that enhances the traditional flavours without overwhelming the essential punch of the espresso or the tang of the mascarpone.

More about maple

The colour and flavour of maple syrup changes in subtle ways during the seasonal harvest

At the start of the sugaring season, the syrup is generally clear, with a light, sweet taste. It becomes darker with a caramelised flavour as the season progresses throughout the spring.

An unopened can of maple syrup keeps for many years

Once the can is opened, syrup should be kept in an airtight container in a cool place.

Maple spread doesn't contain any butter or dairy products

Like all 100% pure maple products, maple spread comes from the sap of the maple tree — that’s all.
