Tiramisu (Italian: Tiramisù; Veneto: Tiramesù [tirameˈsu]) is one of the most popular Italian cakes. It is made of savoiardi (or 'lady finger' biscuits) dipped in espresso or strong coffee, layered with a whipped mixture of egg yolks, mascarpone, and sugar, and topped with cocoa.

Tiramisu has become a very popular dessert. The recipe has been adapted into cakes, puddings, and other varieties of dessert. Happy Valentines' Day!
