Tiramisu Taste Of Italy

Tiramisu, meaning "pick me up" is a cafe-flavored Italian dessert. It is made of ladyfingers dipped in coffee, layered with a whipped mixture of eggs, sugar and mascarpone cheese, flavored with cocoa powder. Its origins are often disputed among Italian regions Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia. This Tiramisu version though is inspired by Christophe Michalak. The addition of lemon marmalade is a brilliant touch up despite some disagreements.
