There are many possible explanations on the origins of Tiramisu. Most people claim that it may have been made as far back as the Renaissance. However, some debates remain because others suggest that Tiramisu was not made until 1971 by an Italian baker, Carminantonio Iannaccone in a small bakery in Treviso, Italy.

Tiramisu is made with ladyfingers soaked in espresso and then alternately layered with a whipped mixture of mascarpone cheese, sugar, and eggs. This provides few layers to the cake and adds a unique texture that contrasts well with the silky layers of mascarpone cheese.
