Where does tiramisu come from?

Tiramisu has been a much-loved dessert since its creation but exactly when and where it was created remains a mystery, although it is believed to have been in Italy, somewhere between the late 1960s and early 1970s by Italian pastry chef Roberto ‘Loli’ Linguanotto.

One theory about its origin is that it was adapted from the simple dessert Sbatudin, which consists of egg yolks beaten together with sugar and often served with Italian biscuits and coffee.

Another origin theory is that it was accidentally created in 1959 after chef Norma Pielli tried to make Dolce Torino, a cake made from eggs and sugar, but used mascarpone instead of butter for the cream part of the dessert.

Regardless of its origin, the treat is a much-loved dessert choice around the world, and with the discovery of the tiramisu drawer, it could be the best part of your next dinner party.
