Tiramisu is a very popular dessert that is enjoyed the world over, despite the fact that it was first invented around 50 years ago. This specific dish combines a myriad of ingredients to form a unique combination accentuated by the taste of coffee that permeates the dish. This Tiramisu recipe uses Mascarpone cheese and is dusted with cocoa to bring out a flavorful taste that you and your guests won’t soon forget. This dessert is also unique in that it is served cold.
Tiramisu has a large number of distinctive ingredients that make the dessert stand out among most others. Not only does the recipe use eggs, Mascarpone cheese and heavy whipping cream, it also utilizes espresso and delicious Italian lady fingers. Though you might not think that all of these ingredients in one recipe would make for a tasty dish, it is a combination that proves quite appetizing and can be a conversation starter on its own if served to friends and family. The recipe is topped off with a bit of cocoa powder for dusting, while liqueur that is coffee-flavored is an optional ingredient if you choose to use it.
