"Not Too Tricky" Tiramisu

This is by far one of my FAVORITE dessert recipes and I dont even rally like Tiramisu.  But my dad found this recipe years ago and it is a family favorite.  Most tiramisu recipes are complicated to make...but this one is not bad at all.  The taste is addicting and you are guaranteed to love this recipe!!

Now, you can make this either Gluten Free or regular.  There are 2 brands I'm going to recommend for the lady fingers.

Gluten Free Lady Fingers:

Regular Lady Fingers:

So if you are Gluten Free, you can STILL enjoy this dessert and for those who can eat Gluten...Alessi is an AWESOME brand!  And Jellos Instant Devils Food Chocolate Instant Pudding is Gluten Free!  Check out their site:http://www.gfoverflow.com/results.php?q=brand:+Jell-O
