Just realised that most of my loyal customers have a liking to tiramisu as I had quite a few orders lately...
For a little history, Tiramisu is an Italian dessert invented in the 1960's at the El Touga restaurant in Treviso, Italy. Literally translated, Tiramisu means "pick me up" or "carry me up",which probably refers to the jolt you get after eating espresso and alcohol laced ladyfingers. It is often called an 'Italian Trifle" because, like any trifle, it has layers. In this case,the sponge cake is layered with Zabaione (an Italian custard).You can garnish the top of the Tiramisu with a dusting of cocoa powder and/or shaved chocolate, and a scattering of fresh raspberries.
It is best served chilled so then you can fully savour the buttery-rich, velvety softness of the custard molded together with the cake.
