Tiramisu · Venice

Veneto's landmark dessert: layers of espresso-soaked savoiardi sponge fingers and a fluffy mascarpone-egg-yolk cream, dusted heavily with cocoa powder, served chilled in a glass dish or in individual ramekins.

Tiramisu (literally pick-me-up) was invented in 1969 at Le Beccherie restaurant in Treviso, the small Veneto city 30km from Venice. The original recipe was created by chef Roberto Linguanotto and pastry chef Aldo Campeol's wife, building on the older Venetian custard zabaione. The dish was a regional Veneto staple through the 1970s, exploded into international fame in the 1980s and has become the most-cooked Italian dessert worldwide. The structural recipe (savoiardi sponge fingers, mascarpone, egg yolks, sugar, espresso, cocoa) is Treviso and officially recognised as a Treviso-Veneto traditional product.
