Here’s the way I make tiramisu.

Our first show is “How to make tiramisu?” This is a rather simple recipe. Tiramisu originated from Siena, Italy. Tiramisu literally means “Pick Me Up” in Italian. Back in the days, the courtesans were known to eat tiramisu to courtship their next woman. Tiramisu was used to replace what is called today “Viagra”. Yes, ladies!

Maybe it was the rum, maybe it was the coffee, or maybe it was the egg yolk! Whatever the reasons were, tiramisu has definitely work its way in today’s culinary recipes. You may find tiramisu in most restaurants around the country.
