What is tiramusi?

Tiramisu is an Italian dessert made with layers of ladyfingers (sponge biscuits) soaked in coffee and liqueur, and a rich cream made from mascarpone cheese, eggs, sugar, and sometimes whipped cream. The dessert is typically dusted with cocoa powder and served chilled. Its origins are uncertain, but it is believed to have been created in the Veneto region of Italy during the 1960s or 1970s. Tiramisu has become a popular dessert worldwide and is commonly served in Italian restaurants and cafes. Variations of the traditional recipe include ingredient additions such as chocolate, fruit, or nuts.
