The birthplace of Tiramisu is Italy.

Tiramisu is called tiramisu in English. It uses mascarpone cheese as the main material, replaces the traditional sponge cake with lady finger, and adds other ingredients such as coffee and cocoa powder. This dessert is smooth and sweet in taste, not just a single sweetness, but a soft texture change.

The name Tiramisu means "take me away at once" in Italian. It is said that during a certain war, an Italian soldier was about to go to the battlefield, but his family had nothing left. In order to prepare dry food for him, his beloved wife used all the edible biscuits and bread at home to make a kind of cake, which is Tiramisu. Whenever the soldier tasted Tiramisu on the battlefield, he would think of the warmth of his family and home.

characteristics of tiramisu:

1. Rich taste: Tiramisu has rich and varied tastes. Its bottom layer is usually made of lady finger, which is crisp and chewy. The middle cheese layer is made of mascarpone cheese mixed with sugar and whipped cream, and the taste is smooth and delicate. The top layer is sprinkled with cocoa powder, adding a touch of bitter and sweet taste.

2. Coffee and wine flavor: Coffee and coffee wine (such as Mascara wine or rum) are often used in Tiramisu to soak lady finger, giving dessert a rich coffee aroma and wine flavor. The bitterness and sweetness of coffee, the mellow of wine and the sweetness and greasy of cheese blend with each other to form a unique taste.

3. Not too sweet and greasy: Compared with other desserts, tiramisu is relatively low in sweetness. The balanced taste of cheese and coffee makes the dessert not too sweet and greasy, which is more suitable for people of all tastes.

4. Clear hierarchy: Tiramisu is usually composed of multiple layers, and each layer has obvious boundaries. Lady finger layer and cheese layer are alternately superimposed to form a layered feeling, giving people a visual aesthetic feeling.
