10 curiosities about this fantastic dessert!

1. Why tiramisu? Apparently, this hearty dessert was served in Treviso by a "madam" to her customers with the famous phrase "desso ve tiro su mi" (I'll take my tiramisu), hence the name tiramisu. Perhaps it's just a legend...
2. When was tiramisu born? In reality, it's not known exactly when this wonderful dessert first appeared. Some trace it back to the Venetian Republic, while others maintain it's much more recent, created in a Venetian restaurant around the 1960s. In any case, it was immediately loved and quickly spread, thanks in part to its easy, no-bake preparation.
3. Tiramisu in 23 languages. The Accademia della Crusca has certified that "tiramisù" is a "gastronomic Italianism" in 23 different languages; in China, it is even the most searched Italian word on the web.
4. According to data collected by Just Eat, the app for ordering food at home, tiramisu seems to be the most ordered dessert from Italians, especially as a snack.
5. Savoiardi or Pavesini, that's the question.The debate is still ongoing. Tradition calls for ladyfingers, which are spongy and crumbly just right, but hey, who are we to stop you from using Pavesini?
6. Egg. The recipe calls for raw eggs, so it's crucial that they're organic. Furthermore, if the eggs are fresh, the protein component will compact more, resulting in a firmer, fluffier mixture.

   

7. Although it is a simple dessert to prepare, the most delicate part is the cream, Here are a few tricks. Using an electric whisk at a higher speed helps to beat the egg yolks and sugar better, because the air entrapped in the mixture makes the cream thick and fluffy! Adding a drop of lemon juice to the egg whites helps stabilize the mixture. Always use a wooden or silicone spatula to fold in the egg whites with a gentle but firm motion, moving from the bottom up, so that the egg whites don't deflate.
8. Unfortunately yes, it is a high-calorie dessert But thanks to the serotonin in cocoa and caffeine, a bite of this delicious dessert will instantly lift your mood! A serving of tiramisu contains 500 calories, a quarter of your daily requirement, but who would give up a spoonful for the sake of lightness?
9. Nutella, strawberries, vegan? You choose! revisited tiramisu It's always a good idea to experiment with different flavors even if, as in fashion, the classic will never go out of style.
10. Last but not leastIt's a cold dessert, so it doesn't need to be cooked and doesn't require any special preparation! My only tip: let the tiramisu rest in the refrigerator for just the right amount of time so that all the flavors combine in an explosion of flavor.
