    • About This Recipe

    “I was on an RV road trip from Seattle to Santa Fe, visiting friends in July 2000. We were invited to dinner at our friend’s father’s house. I certainly couldn’t go empty handed, but i didn’t bring any dessert recipes with me. I did have the current issue of Taste of Home, i hadn’t read it yet, but it saved me! I found a recipe that i would be able to modify enough to make in the RV. I took it to this beautiful outdoor dinner party. Every dish there was elegantly presented. Until i set down my disposable roaster pan! I didn’t know what to call this dessert, and hoped no one would know who brought it, and that’s when i realized that the “wonderful Tiramisu” everyone was raving about was mine! The name stuck, and i’ve made it the same way ever since(although I usually present it in a glass trifle bowl). I’m sharing my very easy version with you here. Enjoy!”
