Tiramisu with Amaretto liqueur and orange zest is a refined combination of delicate mascarpone cream soaked in aromatic espresso with hints of almond liqueur. This dessert hails from Italy, where tiramisu has long become a symbol of elegance and enjoying life. The lightness of the airy cream is complemented by the deep coffee flavor, while fresh orange zest adds a subtle citrus note. Savoiardi cookies absorb all this grace, turning into a velvety base. Tiramisu is not just a dessert; it is a true art of taste, perfectly suited for both romantic evenings and festive gatherings. Its texture, aroma, and exquisite aftertaste make it one of the most beloved sweet treats in the world.
