In one of the provinces of Italy, Siena, a high-ranking duke from the famous Medici family, Cosimo 3 Tuscany, arrived on a visit. He was famous for his desire to taste something sweet, and since it was difficult to surprise him, the Siena chefs came up with an original sweet dish.

They tried to glory: the duke liked the dessert, and he took the recipe with him. The dish became known as the "soup of the duke", gradually spreading throughout Europe.

According to another version, more believable and documented, the dish was invented in the late 15th century, in the duchy of Savoy, timed this time, for the visit of the King of France.

And still there is an opinion that tiramisu is not invented by anyone specifically, but, as it were, by everyone. Italians are very fond of a hard biscuit for tiramisu, which, usually, was soaked in coffee. Gradually, all these were supplemented with other products and, of course, another main ingredient for tiramisu - mascarpone cheese.
