Tiramisu

This recipe is one that I have made many times, it's one of the favourite desserts of my family. Usually my dad (and I) would make it for every party or celebration. We would also bring it to parties as a gift.

It calls for one ingredient and I don't know if that is available everywhere. Löffelbiskuit (Google tells me it is called Ladyfinger Cookies in the US). Basically they are dry sponge cake cookies that are shaped like fingers.
