Over 100 Italian chefs collaborated to create the tiramisu live on location, which now has the record for being the longest tiramisu in the world, all the way from Chelsea Town Hall in London. The team of 100 chefs used over 50,000 ladyfinger cookies, over 3,000 eggs, and a large amount of mascarpone cheese and coffee to maintain length and consistency.

A Guinness World Records-certified version has pushed things to the next level, demonstrating that the passion for Italian tiramisu is not just ageless but also larger than life. On April 25 & 26, 100 Italian chefs in London reportedly established a new Guinness World Record by creating a 1445-foot (440.6-meter) tiramisu at Chelsea Town Hall. While everyone enjoys a good amount of tiramisu on their plate, any time of day or night, just to put things into perspective, this record-breaking tiramisu is 4 times the height of the Eiffel Tower, laid horizontally, or 4-5 cricket pitches, or equal to 4 football fields. So, you might wonder what went into creating the world’s longest tiramisu, right? Here’s all that you need to know about it!
How 100 Italian Chefs Broke The Record For The World’s Longest Tiramisu
The entire execution was led by Mirko Ricci, the man behind the London record attempt, who previously held the record in Italy in 2017, although another Italian team surpassed it in 2019. As per Guinness World Records, the chefs utilised 50,000 ladyfingers and 3,000 eggs to create the dessert on-site. They had planned to build a 300-metre-long tiramisu, but ended up making it 440.6 metres long. The London Tiramisu smashed Milanese Galbani’s record of 273.5 meters in Milan; the record-breaking dessert was created over the weekend at Chelsea Town Hall as an homage to King Charles III.
