If there's powdered sugar, that would do it.

Okay, yeah, my perfect tiramisu was garnished with dark chocoate powder and possibly powdered sugar.
That's unfortunate.
A good tiramisu is my white stag.
My mum's is the perfect chicken marsala, and French onion soup. My gramps was the perfect linguine with clam sauce. I think my perfect savory dish will be biscuits and gravy. The most luscious meal during the worst time of my life. I dunno, it was one of my true bright spots of existence. So, the most perfect biscuit, all layered and flaky, and the most spectacular white gravy with ground beef. That might have also been starvation speaking. That always makes things taste better. Like Tangeraid. I didn't realize until after that that shit is nasty.

-t, what do you have against powdered sugar?

I have a possibly irrational fear of corn starch. And powdered sugar is generally 2% corn starch. So I avoid it.
But I do have a pound or three of organic powdered sugar that is free of the cursed corn starch in my cupboard if I need it. Because it is terribly delicious.

You could also just grind up regular sugar somehow, no? Or not worry about it. I don't think it's a key ingredient.

Yeah, but without having tasted tiramisu it's hard to feel much motivation to make it - past attempts have stalled out at the "do I need a special pan to make ladyfingers?" step. I'm sure I'll get around to it eventually.

Fair enough! I do think tiramisu lends itself well to interpretations that are not classic, but still delicious!

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
I will forever owe thanks to my cousins for introducing me to Chinese food (as opposed to chow mein from a La Choy can) when I was 15. And one of the same cousins' stepmother for taking me to my first sushi restaurant.
My little town lucked out when I was in college, a local family whose dad was an immigrant from northern Italy opened an Italian restaurant that was better than any I've eaten at in Chicago or Boston.
