But where did this delightful dessert originate? Legend has it that tiramisu was born in the 1960s in the Veneto region of Italy, specifically in the city of Treviso. The name "tiramisu" roughly translates to "pick-me-up" or "lift me up," which refers to the caffeine kick from the espresso and the sweetness from the mascarpone cheese.
So, how do people celebrate this sweet holiday? Traditionally, fans of tiramisu mark the occasion by baking and sharing their own creations, often experimenting with innovative flavors and presentation styles. Others visit their favorite Italian restaurants or cafes to savor a professionally crafted tiramisu.

In Italy, tiramisu is often served at special occasions, such as weddings and holidays. On International Tiramisu Day, fans of the dessert take this tradition to the next level, sharing their love for tiramisu with friends and family. Some people even hold tiramisu-making workshops, teaching newcomers the art of crafting the perfect tiramisu.
While Italy is the birthplace of tiramisu, this beloved dessert has gained popularity worldwide. From Japan to the United States, each country has put its own unique spin on the traditional recipe. In Japan, matcha powder is often added to give the tiramisu a bright green hue, while in the United States, creative flavors like peanut butter and banana have made their way into the mix.
