Tiramisu - How To Make Tiramisu
Tiramisu is a layered Italian dessert prepared with ladyfinger cookies, espresso or instant espresso, mascarpone cheese, eggs, sugar, Marsala wine, rum, and cocoa powder. An intense yet elegant dish arises from the combination of these disparate ingredients. Layers of mascarpone and Italian custard have a delicate flavour that contrasts with the darkly strong presence of espresso and the sharpness of cocoa powder. The term tiramisu, which means "lift me" in Italian, is most likely a reference to the dish's two stimulant ingredients, espresso, and chocolate.
