Thanks to all for the reviews. I followed many of them with great success. I used 1 cup strong coffee to 4 Tbsp kahlua. I added 1 Tbsp powdered sugar to the whipped cream mix and used the mixer to whip the cheese into the cream. I folded the (delicious) custard with the (delicious) whipped cream and cheese, which was delicious by the way. :) I made my own ladyfingers from the recipe on this site which I have found to be more flavorful (if less voluminous) than the storebought. When making them, I always spread the batter out, bake, and then cut into bars. It makes it so much easier than piping! That recipe yielded just enough ladyfingers for two layers when layered into a 9" springform pan. (I did not split them in half.) I also waited until the last day to sprinkle on the cocoa and made the tiramisu two days in advance. Since I had turned my ladyfingers upside down and dipped the top third of them in the coffee mix (as opposed to drizzling), I was worried that they might be soggy two days later, but they were not. This received rave reviews! Simply superb. Thank you!

I made this with the 1/3 cup sugar (instead of 1/2) and without any poppy seeds and was told this was the best ever. It was terrific. Thank you. A definite keeper.

Fabulous. I made four double recipes in four crockpots (both 5 and 6 quart) for a large party and they all turned out terrific. I subbed black beans for the garbanzo beans and had only enough for half the molasses amount for each recipe. I started them 7 hours before serving time, taking the lid off the last hour and a half. The different bean colors made a terrific presentation. Thank you. Will use again.
