Christmas is just 55 days away, meaning dinner party season has officially arrived and with it, the annual dilemma of how to make enough tiramisu to feed a table full of mouths.
We feel for you, we really do. It’s a tough gig playing the host with the most, but one viral hack is about to make the dessert segment of your evening not only easy, but impressive.
Allow us to introduce you to the innovative and time-saving tiramisu drawer.
What is a tiramisu drawer?
Created by Manchester’s beloved Onda Pasta Bar after they were short on time and realised their customers had an overwhelming demand for the Italian dessert, the tiramisu drawer is exactly what it sounds like.
A drawer full of tiramisu.
The restaurant posted a video of the creation on their Instagram account in September last year and have since had over 24 million views and thousands of comments from impressed dessert lovers.
Maria Georgiou called it ‘heaven in a drawer’, while Daniel Luke Nixon said he watched the video ‘way more than I should have’.
Do-Do Huckabee wrote, ‘Every home should have one’, and many agreed and admitted they wanted their own.
And it turns out that desire isn’t too far from becoming a reality.

Inspired by the restaurant’s time-saving creation, many have taken to social media with their own interpretation of the concept, only instead of using a commercial kitchen drawer, they’re using a fridge drawer.
How do they do it exactly? According to one Instagram video, you take an empty plastic drawer in your fridge and make sure it is cleaned and sanitised.
From there, grab a bowl of black coffee and some sponge fingers, soaking them in the coffee before placing them in orderly lines in the drawer.
When you have a base layer of sponge fingers, cover them in a whipped mixture of eggs, sugar, and mascarpone. If you’d like a larger batch, add another layer of fingers and mix.
The dessert is then topped with a sprinkling of cocoa, and the drawer is returned to the fridge, where it can stay cool.
Perfect for larger party sizes, the dessert can last up to three days in the fridge.
And if you want to create the tiramisu drawer but don’t want the mess, never fear. A TikTok user has shared her own version, in which she used a baking tray and simply placed it in a dedicated fridge drawer to keep it cool.
