The literal meaning of tiramisu in Italian is “pick me up” or “cheer me up,” and with finals approaching, we could all use a little of that, especially one with coffee involved.

Traditionally, you make tiramisu by layering ladyfingers dipped in a coffee and rum mixture with a mascarpone and sugar mixture. This recipe features ingredients that are a little easier to find in Forbes Street Market or Giant Eagle, and transforms it into a simple single serving for when you need a little treat after spending all day in Hillman. Good luck on finals and happy holidays!
