25 Must-Try Tiramisu Recipes

While many Italian desserts are incredible, none are quite as impressive as tiramisu. It’s the ultimate no-bake, make-ahead dessert: The longer it sits in the fridge overnight, the better it tastes. Tiramisu, which means “pick me up” in Italian, is typically made with espresso-soaked ladyfingers layered with a custard-like mascarpone filling. Some people swear that there needs to be Marsala in the mix, while others use rum, kulula or skip the alcohol entirely. This recipe, perfected by the Food Network Test Kitchen team, features a traditional Marsala-flavored zabaglione — a cooked mixture of egg yolks and sugar — that becomes mousse-like with the addition of tangy mascarpone cheese.
