Tiramisu is a true symbol of Italian cuisine, a delicate dessert born in Venice or Treviso in the 20th century. Its name translates to 'pick me up,' hinting at the invigorating effect of espresso and the refined sweetness of mascarpone. The rich flavor of coffee-cream perfectly complements the airy savoiardi cookies soaked in rum. A light bitterness from cocoa powder completes the harmony of flavors. Tiramisu is a perfect elegant finish to a romantic dinner, celebration, or simply as comfort on a rainy day. This dessert requires no baking and is easy to prepare, making it a favorite among homemade sweet lovers.
