Tiramisu has 283 kcal per 100 g. Layers of mascarpone, ladyfingers, espresso and cocoa make this Italian classic from Treviso (1960s) calorie-dense. Fat sits at ~16.8 g/100 g, so a restaurant slice can exceed 400 kcal — weigh your portion to avoid the visual underestimate.
How should I track Tiramisu?
The trickiest part about tracking Tiramisu is that small portions pack a lot of calories, and most people estimate sweet portions poorly. Research (Almiron-Roig et al., Appetite 2013) found that calorie-dense foods are underestimated by 50–200% when portioned by eye. Weighing on a scale takes the guesswork out. And here is the mindset shift that helps: tracking sweets is not about guilt. It is about awareness. When you log a treat honestly, you can plan around it and still hit your targets for the day.
