ABOUT TIRAMISÙ:
Tiramisu (from the Italian language, spelled tiramisù, [ˌtiramiˈsu], meaning “pick me up” or “cheer me up”) is a coffee-flavoured Italian dessert. It is made of ladyfingers (savoiardi) dipped in coffee, layered with a whipped mixture of eggs, sugar and mascarpone cheese, flavoured with cocoa. The recipe has been adapted into many varieties of cakes and other desserts. Its origins are often disputed among Italian regions Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia.

History of Tiramisu:
Tiramisu appears to have been invented in the 1960s or 1970s, but where and when exactly is unclear.

Recipes named “tiramisu” are unknown in cookbooks before the 1960s. The word appears in print in Italian in 1980, and in English in 1982.

Some accounts of the origin of tiramisu date its invention to the 1960s in the region of Veneto, Italy, at the restaurant “Le Beccherie” in Treviso. Specifically, the dish is claimed to have first been created by a confectioner named Roberto Linguanotto, owner of “Le Beccherie”.Le Beccherie is supposed to have invented it on 24 December 1969. It is sometimes claimed that Tiramisu has aphrodisiac effects and was served in brothels in Treviso.

Others claim it was created towards the end of the 17th century in Siena in honour of Grand Duke Cosimo III.

There is also evidence of a “Tiremesù” semi-frozen dessert served by the Vetturino restaurant in Pieris, in the Friuli Venezia Giulia, since 1938.This may be the name’s origin, while the recipe for Tiramisu may have originated as a variation of another layered dessert, Zuppa Inglese.

It is mentioned in a 1983 cookbook devoted to cooking of the Veneto.

Tiramisu is similar to other desserts, in particular with the Charlotte, in some versions composed of a Bavarian cream surrounded by a crown of ladyfingers and covered by a sweet cream; the Turin cake (dolce Torino), consisting of ladyfingers soaked in rosolio and alchermes with a spread made of butter, egg yolks, sugar, milk, and dark chocolate; and the Bavarese Lombarda, which is a similar composition of ladyfingers and egg yolks (albeit cooked ones). In Bavarese, butter and rosolio (or alchermes) are also used, but not mascarpone cream nor coffee.[citation needed]

Interest in tiramisu in the United States increased in 1993 when Tom Hanks’ protagonist in the comedy Sleepless in Seattle heard of it only as a mysterious thing that modern women loved.

On July 29, 2017, Tiramisu was entered by the Ministry of Agricultural, Food and Forestry Policies on the list of traditional Friulian and Giulian agri-food products in the Friuli Venezia Giulia region.
