According to the Tirimisu Wiki they are in fact biscuits, the European name for cookies.

It is made of biscuits (usually savoiardi) dipped in coffee, layered with a whipped mixture of egg yolks and mascarpone, and flavored with liquor and cocoa

And NO, custard is not icing and it is not comprable to apples in an apple pie.
It is a trifle. You are entitled to your own opinions, but not your own facts.
Teuth, you argument against Alton Brown is absurd, and a tacit admission of failure. Since the argument has reduced to absurdities and deliberate lies, I will leave it.

Good day. Enjoy your pie.
