Tiramisù

Tiramisù is the favourite Italian dessert made of ladyfinger biscuits (savoiardi) dipped in coffee, layered with a whipped mixture of eggs, sugar and mascarpone and flavoured with cocoa.

The recipe has been adapted into many varieties of cakes and other desserts. Its origin is disputed between the Italian regions of Veneto and Friuli-Venezia Giulia. The name comes from the Italian tirami sù, meaning "cheer me up" due to the caffeine in it.
