pick me up
The name itself, tiramisu, means “pick me up” in Italian most likely referring to the two caffeinated ingredients that are present in the dish, espresso and cocoa. Traditional tiramisu begins with Savoiardi Ladyfingers, light and delicately sweet sponge cake biscuits.

How long does it take for tiramisu to set?

For the best results, tiramisu needs at least 6 hours in the fridge before serving. This time allows the ladyfingers a chance to soak up flavor and moisture from the coffee, wine and filling. You can make tiramisu 1 to 2 days in advance, just keep it refrigerated until you are ready to serve.

Does tiramisu contain alcohol?

Traditional recipes for tiramisu contain two alcohols, Marsala wine and rum. There’s also a liberal dose of caffeine in the form of coffee and espresso, but let’s stick to one vice at a time. Tiramisu is also not cooked, which means that all the alcohol used in its making is still potent.

What can I use in tiramisu instead of Marsala?

Substitutes for Marsala Wine: We love Marsala in tiramisu — it cuts the creaminess of the filling. For something a little different, try substituting dark rum, brandy or coffee flavored liqueur. Since Marsala is less potent than something like rum, we suggest using about half the amount.
