Tiramisu is a traditional Italian dessert that has won over palates all over the world. Its origin dates back to the Veneto region of Italy, where it is believed to have been created in the 1960s. The name "tiramisu" literally means "pick me up" or "cheer me up," referring to its stimulating ingredients like coffee and cocoa. In Latin America, although the original name is preserved in most countries, some places call it "coffee and cheese dessert" or simply "Italian dessert." The recipe may vary slightly depending on the region, but it always maintains that delicious combination of coffee-soaked ladyfingers and a creamy mixture of cheese and egg.
