The name Tiramisu is Italian and means "pick me up". It can be translated
figuratively as something to make me less sad or something that makes me
happier. After fasting the whole day, and praying the Taraweeh prayers,
this is a perfect dessert—light, cool, and refreshing—something to "pick
you up." A perfect dessert for Ramadan!

WARNING: Please be extremely careful if you eat Tiramisu at an unknown location. The traditional way of making Tiramisu is with the addition of marsala brandy and mascarpone cheese. In fact, very few places that sell Tiramisu do not include these two ingredients in their recipes. Therefore, you must be diligent in checking the ingredient list so you do not consume anything that does not have halal ingredients.
Buon Appetito !!
