What is Tiramisu?

Tiramisu is a coffee-flavored Italian dessert popular in any special dining events.This classic, creamy dessert is made from ladyfingers (savoiardi) dipped in espresso, mascarpone cream, eggs, sugar, and powdered cocoa. Sometimes also lazed with booze, traditionally Marsala wine, served for adults.
It is usually eaten cold and was originally served in a goblet. Although, square-sliced versios became a thing nowadays.Another good thing about this dessert is that it can be made a day or two ahead of time and it can last for about a week refrigerated.

Tiramisu literally means “pick me up” or "cheer me up" in Italian [tiramiˈsu]. This is probably because of the espresso present in the dessert.

Origin of Tiramisu?

There are many versions and stories as to its origin and up to this day, it is still debatable as to who invented it. One thing is for sure: Tiramisu originated from Italy.
Many historical records about the origin of this dessert point back to Treviso in the region of Veneto, Italy in the 1960s.There is a restaurant, “Le Beccherie,” which claims that it was in their menu where this Italian dessert first made a debut.

Unbeknownst to many, Tiramisu was once believed by the Italians to have aphrodisiac effects and was served in the brothels of the said area int the earlier years.

About this Tiramisu recipe

This classic Italian dessert is popular worldwide, and many recipes were published anywhere. But then, a traditional tiramisu has its standard. Here are some notes about this recipe:

  • Authentic tiramisu should have a strong taste of espresso. Of course, you can adjust this to your preference. I am not a coffee drinker so I made it a little milder.
  • Eggs are not cooked but rather beaten raw with mascarpone cream and sugar. In this recipe, however, I skipped the eggs.
  • Coffee should be at room temperature before dipping the ladyfingers on it.
  • The ladyfingers, when dipped in coffee, should not result in a flaky texture. Avoid soaking them in coffee or you will end up with watery Tiramisu. Dipping one side actually should be enough.
  • I used dutch-processed cocoa powder because I like its mild taste compared to natural cocoa that is more bitter.
  • Mascarpone in our area is like gold, very rare to find and expensive. I made this recipe using homemade mascarpone.
  • It is also alcohol-free.
