Key risk: Tiramisù contains three allergens in every layer: egg (raw yolks), dairy (mascarpone), and wheat (ladyfingers). The egg is not baked or pasteurized — it is raw, which is relevant for immunocompromised individuals beyond allergen concerns. There is no version of tiramisù without these three ingredients.
