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.

My aunt makes a chocolate tiramisu that's amazing. Not classic, but still amazing.

I know I like trifle, which seems similar.
