Tiramisu is an Italian treat that has aristocratic origins. It cannot be compared to an ordinary delicate cake or pudding, such a treat is suitable only for special evenings.
The dessert got its name thanks to Venetian women who ate tiramisu before exciting dates. It was rumored that the dessert had arousing properties. Tiramisu translates as “cheer me up”, “lift me up”. There’s a certain amount of ambiguity in the interpretation. Earlier the dish was called “duke’s soup”.
