2. Once soft and chewy, drain and mix with brown sugar or honey for flavor. Set aside.

4️⃣ Brew the Coffee Syrup:

1. Mix coffee, brown sugar, and optional coffee liqueur until sugar dissolves.

5️⃣ Assemble the Tiramisu Crêpes:

1. Take one crêpe, spread a layer of mascarpone filling, and fold or roll.

3. Spoon over the sweetened Better Boba pearls.

4. Dust with cocoa powder and top with chocolate shavings if desired.
