About Tiramisu ice cream
Tiramisu ice cream is a dessert inspired by the classic Italian dish 'Tiramisu,' which originated in the Veneto region of Italy. This ice cream combines elements like mascarpone cheese, coffee, cocoa, and ladyfinger cookies to recreate the flavor profile of tiramisu in a creamy, frozen form. While being indulgent, tiramisu ice cream primarily provides energy from fats and sugars, along with small amounts of protein due to the dairy content. It contains essential nutrients like calcium and vitamin B2 (riboflavin) from milk or cream. However, it is relatively high in saturated fat, cholesterol, and added sugars, which should be consumed in moderation.
Health Benefits
- Contains calcium from dairy, which supports bone health and muscle function.
- Provides riboflavin (vitamin B2) from milk or cream, essential for energy metabolism.
- Includes small amounts of antioxidants from cocoa powder, which help reduce free radical damage.
Dietary Considerations
Selection and Storage
Store in the freezer at -18°C or lower to maintain texture and flavor. Consume within recommended storage durations on packaging to avoid freezer burn.
