I just realized that tiramisu is mostly air. Yeah, it is most definitely mostly air. The pastry cream is whipped egg yolks, whipped sugar syrup, whipped cheese, and whipped cream. The ladyfinger cookies are whipped egg yolks and whipped egg whites. And yet somehow they hold their shape. That, in and of itself, is wholly amazing to me.

Oh, and by the way, tiramisu means "pick-me-up", referring to the coffee and chocolate components, of which both are bearers of that coveted molecule, caffiene.
