Tiramisu has a top layer of cocoa powder, a bottom layer of thick cream, and a cream-filled middle that resembles a chocolate cake-like mousse. It is fragrant, smooth, sweet, and has a change in texture. The taste is not overly sweet because of the cocoa powder, which gives it a slightly bitter flavor. The cocoa powder's brown color contrasts with the pure creamy yellow, and scooping up a spoonful reveals a dark chocolate brown color.

Unlike a banana boat's bright colors or a monochromatic cheesecake, tiramisu's overall color is harmonious and varied. Gently spooning it into your mouth, you will experience a cool sensation. The whipped cream is unique and sticky, embracing your lips, tongue, and teeth. As you swallow, the gentle sweetness fills every part of your body unrestrained.

The origin of tiramisu can be traced back to a northwestern Italian dessert called Zuppa del Duca or Zuppa Inglese in the 17th century. But the real tiramisu as we know it today began to appear in the 1960s in the northwestern area of Venice, Italy.

The locals used Mascarpone cheese as the main ingredient, replacing the traditional dessert sponge cake with finger cookies, and added other elements such as coffee and cocoa powder.

There is also a romantic legend about the origin of tiramisu. According to the legend, a boy named Fvan fell in love with a girl named Jane. The boy believed that the "tiramisu" cake, which has a similar name to Tianned, would bring him good luck.

So he spent many days and nights making a very delicate cake by himself, following the method of making tiramisu, and named it "Tiramisu Love." The girl ate the cake, felt strong love, and married the boy. The story then became widely circulated in the township, and tiramisu cake became a synonym for love and affection.

In conclusion, make this delicious tiramisu dessert for your next picnic, and enjoy the sweet and creamy flavors of springtime!
