For years I harbored resentment against the tiramisu after an early encounter with my ex-mother in law.
On one of our first meetings, she mentioned that we would have tiramisu for dessert and I naively asked what this strange concoction was.
She replied with a haughty, "Everybody knows what tiramisu is."
Well clearly I didn't or I would have asked.
That kind of set of tone for our whole relationship.
I eventually overcame my dislike of tiramisu by proxy and I can recommend this simple take on the dish.

Time to make: 20 minutes
However unlike tiramisu, creme brulee has always been a personal top choice - more than that really, as it is my favorite dessert.
