Overview
- The annual observance falls on March 21, a date promoted in 2017 by food writers Clara and Gigi Padovani.
- Guides for home cooks stress the classic build: savoiardi briefly dipped in coffee, a light mascarpone cream, a cocoa finish, and a long chill for proper set.
- Buenos Aires restaurants mark the day with deals and twists, from a second slice free at L’adesso to versions with moscato, house-baked ladyfingers, strawberry accents, or a cookie-style reinterpretation.
- In Madrid, Sapori Di Tiramisu prepares for strong turnout with ten flavors offered in-store and via delivery apps, with single portions listed at €6.90.
- The name derives from the Italian phrase “ti tira su,” and reported folklore points to an energizing egg-and-sugar mix called sbatudin as a precursor.
