What is tiramisu?
Tiramisu is a cold, layered dessert that is usually prepared with coffee and liqueur. Some variations of this recipe include chocolate or fruit. In fact, you can also make a homemade tiramisu with biscuits or savoiard biscuits soaked in espresso coffee.
The dessert originates from the 50’s in Venice, Italy. The name comes from the Italian words ” tira mi su”, which loosely translated means ” give me a boost” (this is of course where coffee and sugar come into play!).
Without further ado, enjoy these two delicious tiramisu recipes.
