Tiramisù is a type of food, a dessert made by Humans. Hikaru Sulu described it as "a disgustingly rich dessert made with ladyfingers, espresso, mascarpone cheese, and rum." Nyota Uhura, Pavel Chekov and Sulu, who were being hunted by assassins, stowed away aboard the partially-disassembled USS Enterprise and tried to coax edible food out of an unfinished food synthesizer. Although none of the meal plates came out right, the machine offered them a fine tiramisù. (TOS novel: Traitor Winds)
