Chefs create world's largest tiramisu

Chefs in France have made the world's largest tiramisu.

Twelve cooks worked through the night at a food festival in Villeurbanne to finish the dessert, BBC News reports.

The finished pudding weighed over a tonne and is being stored in an ice rink. It has officially been recognised by Guinness World Records as the world's largest tiramisu.

The chefs used 4,000 eggs, 300kg of mascarpone cheese, 60kg of cream and 192kg of sugar in the dessert.

180kg of biscuits, 12kg of chocolate and nearly 5kg of cocoa powder were also needed to finish the sweet.

The tiramisu, which beat the previous record of 783kg held by a group in Switzerland, will now be sliced up to raise money for charity.
