📖 The Story Behind This Dish

"Tiramisù" means "pick me up," a relatively modern traditional sweet believed to have originated in Italy's northern Veneto region. Biscuits (savoiardi) soaked in espresso are layered with a rich cream made from mascarpone cheese. Beautiful dusted with cocoa powder on top, it's a beloved go-to dessert for entertaining, made at home too, and cherished worldwide.

🌆 Where it's eaten: The moment a chilled tiramisu is brought out to finish a meal with family or friends, a cheer goes up around the table.

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Separate the eggs. Whisk the yolks with half the sugar until pale, then add the mascarpone and mix until smooth.

  2. Whip the egg whites with the remaining sugar into a firm meringue.

  3. Fold the meringue into the mascarpone mixture, being careful not to deflate the air.

  4. Briefly dip the savoiardi in the espresso and arrange in a dish.

  5. Layer on the cream, then repeat once more.

  6. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours, and dust with cocoa powder to finish.
