Quite appropriately, “tiramisu” translates to something along the lines of “pick me up.”

And that’s exactly what it is—a sweet pick-me-up that’s well worth saving space for, no matter how much carbonara<\/a> or cacio e pepe<\/a><\/em> you may have already eaten. Coffee-dipped ladyfinger cookies and sweet, fluffy mascarpone come together in a beautiful symphony of flavors and textures in this heavenly dessert.<\/p>

While savoring tiramisu after a meal at a Roman trattoria is a must at least once in your lifetime, there’s no need to deprive yourself until you make it back to Italy. This traditional Italian tiramisu recipe will do wonders to hold you over until then.<\/p>

The history of tiramisu<\/h2>

According to the Accademia del Tiramisù, a gastronomic and cultural association dedicated to preserving and promoting Italy’s most iconic dessert, the restaurant Beccherie in Treviso gets credit<\/a> for creating the first “official” iteration of tiramisu in the 1970s.<\/p>

Though this was the first time a formal recipe for the dessert had been put together, the roots of tiramisù can be traced back nearly 200 years earlier. Legend says<\/a> that the madam who ran a brothel in Treviso in the early 1800s would prepare the dessert for clients heading home at the end of the night. While this version of the story has been buried throughout history in favor of a more family-friendly version, there’s evidence to support that it does have its roots in Treviso around that time.<\/p>

In the 1980s, tiramisu’s popularity exploded throughout the rest of the world, particularly in Italian-American restaurants in the United States. Today, it’s arguably the most famous Italian dessert<\/a> in the world (except for possibly gelato) and enjoyed up and down the boot-shaped peninsula where it was born.<\/p>

Devour’s tiramisu recipe<\/h2>

Today, there are nearly as many versions of tiramisu in Italy as there are nonnas<\/em>. Each restaurant and home cook gives it their own twist: some include chocolate or Nutella, others brighten up the flavor with fresh fruit, and still others use gelato instead of the mascarpone-based custard.<\/p>

This Italian tiramisu recipe is a classic one and comes straight from our team at Devour’s Rome Cooking School, located in the heart of Trastevere where we host our pasta-making class<\/a> and pizza-making class<\/a>. Our talented chefs not only make pizza and pasta, but also share a variety of other recipes, which we regularly post on our social media<\/a>.<\/p>
