Here's more info about it:

Tiramisu is an Italian dessert typically made from ladyfinger cookies, espresso coffee, mascarpone cheese, eggs, cream, sugar, Marsala wine, cocoa, and rum. The Italian name tiramisù means "pick-me-up" (metaphorically, "make me happy," although it could have a more sexual meaning), referring to the two caffeine-containing ingredients, espresso and cocoa.

The ladyfingers are sprinkled with or briefly soaked in a mixture of coffee, rum, and sugar. They are layered with a mixture of mascarpone cheese and a custard made from egg yolks, Marsala, and sugar, known as zabaglione. Cocoa powder is then sprinkled on top.

Tiramisu has become one of the most popular desserts served in upscale restaurants of all types, not just Italian restaurants. The recipe has been adapted into cakes, puddings, and other varieties of dessert. Other flavors are often used now in place of coffee, including strawberry, lemon, or chocolate.

Tiramisu is an Italian dessert made with layers of sponge cake soaked in coffee, especially espresso, Marsala or other alcohol, mascarpone cheese, and chocolate.
