Tiramisu is a classic Italian dessert that is made with ladyfingers soaked in espresso and layered with a mascarpone cheese filling. It is believed that tiramisu originated in the Veneto region of Italy in the 1960s. The name "tiramisu" means "pick me up" in Italian, and it is said to have been created as a way to give soldiers a quick and easy boost of energy. Traditional tiramisu is made with sugar and ladyfingers that are soaked in espresso. However, this keto tiramisu is made with powdered sweetener and sugar-free ladyfingers, making it a great option for people who are following a ketogenic diet.
