One of the benefits of living in Australia was being able to affordably subscribe to Donna Hay magazine. One super-cool recipe I came across in the magazine was for frozen tiramisu. It's really more assembly instructions than a recipe... and would be super-easy if you used store-bought sponge cake and store-bought coffee ice cream (which, of course, I didn't)... I started off by making a Betty Crocker sponge cake recipe...

The coffee ice cream recipe was an amalgamation of a few recipes I found online, and turned out fantastic.

Time to assemble. The liquid is a cup of espresso combined with a half cup of coffee liqueur (Starbucks being my favorite brand of such things).
You cut rounds from the sponge cake...
dip in the espresso-liqueur mixture and place at the bottom of a plastic wrap-lined ramekin...
Top with a layer of ice cream, then another round, and another layer of ice cream.
Add one more espresso-soaked cake round, then wrap up and throw in the freezer until very frozen.

Make up a quick batch of dark chocolate ganache.

After waiting for the ganache to cool enough that it starts to thicken, spread a layer over each frozen tiramisu, and you're good to go...
This is one of those simple-but-time-consuming recipes. I like that it can be prepared in advance, though, which makes it a great dinner party dessert. Thanks, Donna Hay!
