Caffe Nero UK Tiramisu Slice review

In a last minute attempt to taste all of the festive cakes and other goodies available before the new year really kicks in, I paid a little visit to Caffe Nero to try the limited edition Tiramisu slice. This is a sort of alternative to the traditional caramel shortbread with a chocolate shortbread base, a layer of coffee flavoured caramel and topped with a cocoa and gold dusted white chocolate. Just when I thought caramel shortbread couldn't get any better! This sounded absolutely delicious and I couldn't wait to tuck in.

The chocolate shortbread was pretty nice but quite a bit softer than I expected. It wasn't too sweet which I was grateful for when I tasted the thick layer of sweet white chocolate. The smooth coffee caramel however was without a doubt the best part of this slice for me. The coffee flavour was instantly noticeable but not overpowering and it somehow maintained the sweetness of a traditional caramel. The overall this slice was representative of a traditional tiramisu dessert with a mild and sweet coffee flavour. Although the shortbread was slightly soft, the slice maintained a respectable bite with the gold and cocoa dusting making for a festive appearance. I don't think that I have had a cake like his before and am really glad that I got to try it. If I'm honest however, I don't think that I would chose it again over the classic version but if you haven't tried it then I would recommend tasting this sweet and rich little treat whilst they are still available.
