A Sweet History

Interestingly, tiramisu means “pick me up” in Italian. Or, actually, maybe it’s not terribly shocking since this famous dessert comes from Italy and contains a bit of caffeine. This delightful dessert began it’s tasty journey in Veneto in the 1960s. Specifically, Treviso is the town where they first made it.

To create this rich and artistic delight, chefs use ladyfingers soaked in espresso and liqueur. Then, they add mascarpone cheese and eggs. Finally, they dust it with cocoa powder.

Over time, tiramisu changes around the world. Chefs try new flavors like chocolate or berries. Some even use matcha. But the classic recipe is still the best – simple and elegant.

What Makes Tiramisu Great?

As we mentioned, not all tiramisus are the same. A great dessert has balance. It also uses real ingredients. Here’s what makes it special:

  • Fresh Ingredients: Real mascarpone, espresso, and eggs make tiramisu perfect.
  • Cookies Soaked Just So: While the dry ladyfingers are perfect at soaking up coffee flavor, expert techniques keep them from getting too soggy.
  • Light, Creamy Texture: Mascarpone layers must be light and rich so that they feel silky with the coffee.
  • Cocoa Finish: Cocoa powder on top adds a bit of bitter taste which balances the sweet flavor.

If your tiramisu has all of these, it’s a winner!
