Tiramisu which means ‘pick me up’ or ‘lift me up’ in Italian was born in Treviso Italy during the Ottoman war. It's a coffee-flavored dessert made of ladyfingers dipped in coffee, layered with a whipped mixture of eggs, sugar, and mascarpone cheese, topped with cocoa. Emeril's version includes homemade moist cake, mascarpone cheese, whipped egg whites, and heavy cream, making it a decadent delight that's hard to resist. A bite of this dessert is an explosion of flavor; it's creamy, soft, sweet with a tangy zing of espresso. Since it is not baked, it's the perfect dessert when you don't want to turn on your oven on hot summer days.
