ROME –  The international day dedicated to the world's best-loved spoon dessert is celebrated on Tuesday 21 March with a new version of the dessert being proposed by the Tiramisù World Cup: the Stregamisù for the first time with the addition of alcohol.

 This new version of the dessert is being proposed in anticipation of the announcement in October of the new Tiramisù World Champion. The Stregamisù, based on the famous Strega liqueur, was conjured up by Marina Summa, the winner of the Tiramisù World Cup 2022 Creative Recipe, as well as the youngest tiramisu champion.

 Dania Sartorato, the President of FIPE Confcommercio for Treviso, sees it as an occasion to remember how the dessert continues to be among the most appreciated and sought-after: “We can state that, to date, the consumption of tiramisu outside the home can valued at 4,201,100 euros."

 "This new recipe unites the North and South of Italy” - explains the creator of the Tiramisù World Cup, Francesco Redi - made by our champion Marina Summa with liqueur from the historic distillery of Benevento. “I chose to add liqueur in the cream and not in the coffee syrup,' Marina Summa explains, “I also decided to put in fewer eggs and more sugar to balance out the bitterness of the liqueur.”

 The Stregamisù can be tasted in Treviso for the entire week of Tiramisù Day starting on Monday 20 March. Stefano Dassie's gelato shop, Tre Coni Gambero Rosso, in Via Sant'Agostino, will offer a limited edition of the dessert in gelato version.
