Pick Me Up

This is a Cinderella dessert story. From simple leftovers—some coffee, leftover cake or cookies, an enrichment of cream or mascarpone—a prince of a dessert is born. Tiramisù is an Italian creation but its popularity in America began in San Francisco, and today it is as beloved in the United States as it is in Italy.

Tiramisù can be made in advance, keeps well, is great to serve big numbers, and can even be frozen and remain delicious.
