Tiramisu is a beloved Italian dessert with a history that reflects its rich and decadent nature. A notable fact about tiramisu is that it was created relatively recently compared to many classic desserts. The first known recipe for tiramisu appeared in the 1960s in the Veneto region of Italy.
The name "tiramisu" translates to "pick me up" or "cheer me up" in Italian, which is fitting given the dessert's combination of coffee and cocoa flavors. Tiramisu is made with layers of coffee-soaked ladyfingers (savoiardi), mascarpone cheese, eggs, sugar, and cocoa powder. The coffee and cocoa provide a delightful contrast to the creamy texture of the mascarpone, making it a popular and indulgent treat worldwide.

I don't know why, but it's probably because the name sounds like Japanese to me. 
Anyway, tiramisu is one of my favorite desserts. It's actually among my comfort food.
