Did you know that Tirimisu is a mother's food? It was invented (according to legend, anyway) by an Italian grandmother, whose daughter had just had a baby. The daughter was exhausted from pregnancy, labor, and newborn life. The grandmother thought, "My daughter needs a pick me up!" So she invented Tirimisu--which means "Pick me up" in Italian--throwing a little coffee, a little rum, and a little sugar together as a light and fluffy treat.
I just made some from scratch and THIS mother of a newborn--exhausted from pregnancy, labor, and newborn life--was more than refreshed!
"Pick me up," anytime!
