Celebrate World Tiramisu Day or Any Other Day at Santis – Yakal
Celebrated on March 21, World Tiramisu Day honors one of Italy’s most cherished desserts. It was founded in 2017 by food writers Clara and Gigi Padovani, who authored a book detailing its history and various interpretations.
Tiramisu, which means “pick me up,” is loaded with rich ingredients like eggs, sugar, ladyfingers, mascarpone, coffee, and cocoa that makes this a decadent delight. It originated in Treviso in the 1800s where it was reputedly created in a rather unconventional setting, intended to energize and enchant!
So this World Tiramisu Day (or any other day), why not try making your own with the recipe from Santis Deli’s In-house Chef Chris Limbo? This is made with amaretto, perfect for adults who enjoy boozy desserts. Enjoy!
