Our very own Tiramisù

Our Very Own Tiramisu is made from soaked savoiardi biscuits in espresso with the optional addition of liquor and sugar. Layering them with a mixture of mascarpone cheese and zabaglione, a light custard made with Marsala wine.

 

In the original recipe, there was no liquor as the cake was originally aimed at children.

 

The phrase tira mi su literally means 'pick-me-up' or 'pull-me-up' in reference to the effects of the sugar and espresso.
