Tiramisu!



Tiramisu is an Italian layered desert which literally means ‘pick me up’ and metaphorically ‘make me happy’ referring to the caffeine in the espresso and the effect of cocoa used in the recipe. This dessert consists of alternating layers of coffee-soaked ladyfingers (soft biscuits) and a sweet mixture of mascarpone cheese, eggs and sugar.
