For a neat presentation, layer the tiramisu in individual glasses or a trifle bowl to showcase the layers.
Use stencils to create cocoa powder designs such as hearts or leaves on the final dusted layer.
Garnish with chocolate curls or shavings for added texture and a hint of extra chocolate.
A few coffee beans placed on top can enhance the visual appeal and hint at the flavor within.
For a seasonal touch, consider a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg along with the cocoa powder during the holidays.
