Homemade Coffee Tiramisu (咖啡提拉米苏)



Sponge Coffee Tiramisu (咖啡提拉米苏)

 Recently I got a chance to see the whole process of making tiramisu from a friend. Thank you Joey Wong for sharing.

"Tiramisu, [tiɾamiˈsu], literally "pick me up", is a popular Italian dessert. "

意大利語中意思是「带我走！」，故譯作提拉米蘇更爲適切。

「带我走」（pick-me-up)之说指涉配方中含咖啡因的浓缩咖啡与可可共振带来的轻量兴奋作用。


This tiramisu is using sponge cake instead of lady-fingers (biscuits).


Here are some photos taken during the process.
