Tiramisù is one of the most famous desserts in the world because it is sweet, gorgeous, fabulous, superb and the list could go on for ever...but Who invented this perfect Italian dessert?
At the beginning the recipe was a traditional “snack” for the elderly and for children because of the simplicity of its ingredients...while the ingredient, which made tiramisù so popular around the world, was the cocoa. The idea to add the magic ingredient to the ancient recipe came to the Madame Alba di Pillo, and to a young cook, Paolo Linguanotto, in the late 1960 in Treviso.
