Tiramisu is a popular Italian dessert and it can be made in 10 minutes. It is made up of layers of espresso-soaked ladyfingers, eggs and sugar whisked together to create a custard topping. The original recipe was created by Venetian chefs in the late 17th century.
The tiramisu recipe has its roots in the Renaissance period when cooks would make savory dishes with coffee because it would mask other flavors. Over time, the dish became sweeter and transformed into what we know as tiramisu today.
The word “tiramisu” derives from the verb “tirare” which means to pull or draw something out, such as coffee from a container. The cake gets its name because it is pulled from the container of mascarpone cheese. The actual story of how tiramisu was invented varies depending on who you ask, but most people agree that it was first seen in the 1970s at a restaurant called Le Beccherie in Treviso, Italy.
