Tiramisu originated in Italy.

Tiramisu, known in English as Tiramisu, is made with mascarpone cheese as the main ingredient, finger cookies instead of the traditional sponge cake, and other ingredients such as coffee and cocoa powder. The dessert is smooth and sweet on the palate, not just a single sweet flavor, but with soft textural variations.

The name tiramisu means "take me now" in Italian. It is said that during one of the wars, an Italian soldier was about to leave for the battlefield, but he had nothing left at home. In order to prepare food for him, his beloved wife used all the edible cookies and bread in the house to make a pastry, which was called Tiramisu. Whenever this soldier tasted tiramisu on the battlefield, he was reminded of his family and the warmth of his home.

Characteristics of Tiramisu:

1, rich flavor: Tiramisu has a rich and varied texture. Its bottom layer usually uses finger cookies, crispy and chewy. The cheese layer in the middle is made with mascarpone cheese mixed with sugar and whipped cream for a smooth and delicate texture. The top layer is dusted with cocoa powder to add a hint of bittersweet flavor.

2, coffee and wine flavor: Tiramisu often uses coffee and coffee liquor (such as mascala wine or rum) to soak the finger cookies, giving the dessert a strong coffee aroma and wine flavor. The bittersweetness of the coffee and the mellowness of the liquor blend with the sweetness of the cheese to create a unique flavor.

3. Not overly sweet: Compared to other desserts, Tiramisu is relatively less sweet. The balance of flavors between cheese and coffee makes the dessert not overly sweet and more suitable for all tastes.

4. Layered: Tiramisu usually consists of multiple layers, each with a clear demarcation. The alternating layers of finger cookies and cheese layers form a hierarchy that gives visual beauty.
