tiramisu (countable and uncountable, plural tiramisus)

1. An Italian semifreddo dessert, originally from Veneto, made from ladyfinger biscuits, cocoa, mascarpone cheese, Marsala wine, eggs (or sometimes cream), sugar and espresso coffee.
   • 2021 October 31, Lorenzo Tondo, “Italy’s father of tiramisu dies aged 93”, in The Guardian‎^[1]:

     Numerous variations of tiramisu exist. Some chefs use other cakes such as panettone. Although the original recipe – certified by the Italian Academy of Cuisine in 2010 – was alcohol-free, variants include alcohol such as rum or marsala.
