No Bake Tiramisu

The point of this recipe is simple recipes promote cooking and become "keepers". Any recipe that you make more than once promotes time in the kitchen and therefore develps your skills. I love this recpe for just this reason. Its also impressive when you pull it out for your family or guests. There are more complex recipes for tiramisu out there. None are this easy and to be honest they are not that much better. Who has time for that kind of nonsense? Definitely not you.
