Tiramisu is  an Italian dessert using coffee, sponge type cake and ricotta cheese.


I think the name literally means "pick-me-up".

As far as I know there is no ingredient called tiramisu.

Tiramisu is an Italian dessert made with ladyfinger cookies that are brushed with espresso and layered with a marscapone cheese filling and dusted with cocoa powder. I would think most Italian restaurants would have it on their dessert menu.
