FAQ
What is tiramisu?
Tiramisu is a popular Italian dessert known for its rich and indulgent flavor. The name "tiramisu" translates to "pick me up" or "lift me up" in Italian, which is fitting given its delightful and energizing taste. The dessert is made with layers of espresso-soaked ladyfingers (savoiardi) and a creamy mixture of mascarpone cheese, eggs and sugar. It is often finished with grated dark chocolate for added richness.
The traditional preparation involves dipping the ladyfingers in espresso and alcohol, creating a moist and flavorful base. The mascarpone mixture is then layered over the soaked ladyfingers, finished with dark chocolate shavings, creating a luscious and satisfying dessert.
Tiramisu has become a classic dessert not only in Italy but worldwide, loved for its rich flavour and perfect balance of sweetness. It's commonly served chilled, allowing the flavors to meld together, resulting in a delightful and satisfying treat.
