Tiramisu is a creamy, indulgent Italian dessert flavored with coffee and cocoa powder. If you're making lasagna for your friends, you might want to serve tiramisu for dessert.
A good tiramisu is impressive, but it's a no-bake dessert that's not difficult to make. Ladyfinger cookies are soaked in coffee (and sometimes rum or liqueur), then layered with a sweet cream made from mascarpone cheese, and cocoa powder is sprinkled on top. The name is from the Italian phrase tirami su, literally "pick me up," and the dish was probably invented in the 1960s.
