Tiramisu

Have you ever tried making your own tiramisu? I received a few suggestions from you readers to post a tiramisu recipe. The first time that my Taiwanese friend made this dessert, I didn't know it contains strong brewed coffee as I never drink coffee in life. I am more of a tea person.

For those who don't know what is tiramisu, it is an Italian dessert, made of layers of lady fingers and mascarpone-based mixture, topped with cocoa powder. Unfortunately, I didn't take the final picture of the dessert.
