Tiramisù, literally "pick-me-up," is a classic Italian dessert. Eli's Cheesecake Co. in Chicago makes our creamy version from rounds of delicate espresso-infused sponge cake layered with lightly sweetened mascarpone cheese and sweet cream. To serve, simply thaw the dessert and dust the top with the included cocoa powder for an elegant finish. Attach the whisk attachment to the mixer, or use a handheld mixer. Well, usually this dessert requires you to separate eggs, make a custard, then fold that into another mixture with whipped cream and mascarpone cheese — and that's just the first step.
