Authentic Tiramisù Recipe Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Italy

This no-bake dessert is made simply by layering Savoiardi or Pavesini ladyfingers soaked in sugar and coffee syrup with rich, velvety mascarpone cheese. For the most authentic flavor, use only the strongest, traditional Italian robusto espresso. The name of this famous Italian dessert stems from “tira mi sù”, an expression in the Vèneto dialect that literally translates as “pick me up” — most likely a reference to the uplifting effects of tiramisù’s combination of sugar, cocoa, and coffee.
