Frequently asked questions

Can I prepare the lettuce salad cups in advance?
Yes, but it’s best to assemble them just before serving. You can chop the cucumber, onions, tomatoes, and cilantro in advance, then keep them refrigerated. Fill the lettuce leaves at the last minute so they stay crisp.

How can I adjust the spice level of the creole chicken?
To make it milder, reduce the cayenne pepper or leave it out completely. For a spicier version, add extra cayenne, chili flakes, or a dash of hot sauce to the marinade.

Can I use frozen raspberries for the tiramisu?
Yes, frozen raspberries can be used. Thaw them first and drain any excess liquid so the tiramisu doesn’t become too watery.

What can I substitute for mascarpone in the tiramisu?
You can use cream cheese mixed with a little whipped cream for a similar creamy texture. Greek yogurt can also work for a lighter version, though the result will be tangier.

How long can I store the tiramisu?
Store the raspberry tiramisu in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 2 days. Keep it chilled until serving, as it contains mascarpone and fresh fruit.
