The first time I ever heard of Tiramisu was in the movie “Sleepless in Seattle”. A fantastic dialogue created by director and screenwriter, Nora Ephron. Rob Reiner’s character is trying to bring Tom Hanks’ back to the new dating scene:
“Reiner: And, of course, there is now tiramisu!
Hanks: What is tiramisu?
Reiner: You’ll find out.
Hanks: Well, what is it?
Reiner: You’ll see!
Hanks: You better tell me. Some woman is gonna want me to do it to her and I’m not gonna know what it is.
Reiner: You’ll love it.”

Notes
Obs: The amounts of cloves and cinnamon are totally subject to your taste, but try to use them. They are typical Brazilian dessert spices.
When I first tried this delicacy, it became unforgettable and impossible to avoid in any situation. Some years later, I came about this recipe, presented to me by some Italian relatives of my daughter’s husband’s. The adaptation into a Brazilian version did not take long to come up with.
