As usual, there are multiple origin stories surrounding tiramisù, but the most widely accepted is that it was concocted by Ado Campeol, who owned Le Beccherie restaurant in Treviso, northeastern Italy. Campeol, who passed away at the end of 2021, was making vanilla ice cream one day when he accidentally dropped some mascarpone cheese into the beaten eggs and sugar. He and his wife layered the mix with espresso-soaked ladyfingers and the dessert was born. Pictured is the tiramisù at Le Beccherie.
