From Italy

Tiramisu in Italian means ‘pick me up’. This dessert is also known as Tuscan Trifle. The shape is like a pudding which usually consists of sponge cake or ladyfingers dipped in coffee drinks, cream cheese and covered with cocoa powder. It was originally made as custard. But in recent years, mascarpone cheese has been used more and more popular.

From Everyday Taste

According to Jane Black’s The Trail of Tiramisu article published in the Washington Post on July 11, 2007, the dessert we enjoy today comes from a recipe made at a restaurant in Treviso, Venice, called Le Beccherie.

In the 1970s, Carminantonio Iannaccone was trained as a pastry chef in the southern city of Avellino. Then, he moved to Milan to find work at the age of 12.

In 1969, he married Bruna and opened a restaurant called Piedigrotta di Treviso. He made desserts based on ‘daily taste in the region’ which was identical to strong coffee, mascarpone cream, eggs, Marsala, and ladyfinger cakes. Iannaccone took two years to perfect the recipe, which was originally served as a cake.

Tiramisu was a hit in a flash. Many chefs come to taste it. Some of them immediately made their own version or bought it from Iannaccone. In the early 80s, tiramisu can be found throughout Italy and its surroundings.
