This tiramisu is absolutely phenomenal! I only made one change and that was to brush the ladyfingers with a mixture of amaretto liquor and Godiva chocolate flavored coffee. A friend of mine, who loves tiramisu, after she tried it said that this was better than what she had in Italy.

Pretty good, but after adding a lot less sugar, i thought it was too sweet yet. Until the last minute i didn't realize i had no coffee liqueur at home, so i brushed my ladyfingers with a mixture of black coffee, unsweetened cocoa powder and amaretto. My mom raved about it!!

Very tasty. I have never tried Tiramisu before. My husband has been to Italy & ask me to look up a recipe for it, he said this was very close, but very good. I found it good as well. Will make again. Thanks.

This recipe turned out well. It was a gret hit with people from work who have had Tiramisu in the past. As I have never had nor made Tiramisu before, this was an excellent recipe and will continue to use it.

Delicious!! The grocer didn't have mascarpone or ladyfingers so I used cream cheese and a sponge cake, cutting the cake into 4 sections to make two layers in a 7 x 11" pan. Because I was using sponge cake, I increased the liqueur to 2/3 cup. I added a little milk to the egg mixture. I think that the next time I make this, I will use a 9x13 and have only the bottom layer of ladyfingers and the entire cream mixture on top. Olive Garden serves theirs this way, and it is much more attractive on the plate and the servings hold together much better, making for a more attractive presentaion. It was delicious, I can't wait to make again using ladyfingers and mascarpone!

Tiramisu turned out to be great! My husband was thrilled. I did soak the ladyfingers in Kahlua. It gave a very rich taste. It was quite challenging. Beat,beat,beat! My hands were so tired, but it was really worth it. This recipe is definitely going into my recipe book!

I have tried SOOO many tiramisu recipes and this one got me closer to what I was looking for than any others. I made a few changes to finally get it where I wanted.... I reduced sugar to 3/4 cups, use 8 oz mascarpone, 16 oz heavy whipping cream, and I brush the lady fingers with a mixture of strong coffee, sugar, and amaretto or almond extract.

I made this for my wine tasting party dessert and it was a big hit. Keeping with the wine theme I made indiviudual serving in wine glasses (12) I placed the lady fingers up against the glass and the filling in the middle. Dusted with cocoa powder and placed a mint leaf on top. Very classy looking! Very one loved it!!

This was so awesome!! I've never made Tiramisu before and was a little nervous, but it turned out to be fantastic! The one thing I added was vanilla extract to the cream. Other than that, I followed it to the letter. If you're thinking about making this, don't think anymore - just do it! It's fabulous. It's virtually impossible to mess up. I just had it with my husband this time, but I would definitely feel comfortable serving it to company, too. A keeper!

Oh my goodness!!! This was just divine; everyone raved it was literally the best tiramisu they ever had. I believe the high quality ingredients I used (organic eggs, cream) really make a difference. I also added a teaspoon of vanilla to the egg mixture. Delish!

I have made this recipe twice in a springform pan and both times it was fantastic. The first time, I followed the recipe to the letter. The second time, however, I could not find ladyfingers and wound us using these small finger-shaped honey grahams instead. I just used extra Kahlua to soften them up. Also, if you'd like to make this over-the-top decadent, place a layer of chocolate ganache on top after the tiramisu has set in the refrigerator. To make the ganache, melt 4 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate over very low heat with 6 tablespoons of heavy cream. It's definitely sweet, but if you're going to indulge in something as rich as tiramisu, why hold back? Happy cooking, ladies and gentlemen.

This was an easy, outstanding recipe! It was my first attempt at Tiramisu and it was a hit at a party that I served it at. I was in a hurry, so I used a pretty flat-bottomed oval serving dish to make it in and serve it in. It looked beautiful and served up very nicely.

I too had difficulty finding soft ladyfingers. Trader Joes has them, but they are a seasonal item. I finally found them at Wegmans, but in the bakery NOT in the cookie section. Despite the problems locating them it was so worth it. I also didn't need 24 ounces of ladyfingers as the recipe calls for; my trifle bowl only needed around 9 ounces. I dipped them in, NOT soaking or brushing on, the Kahlua. Definitely not a recipe that you can substitute or skimp on ingredients and expect to get the best result. I used exactly what was called for and it turned out excellent! Many compliments and recipe requests!

YUM, this tiramisu was out of this world. It was even better on day two, after the flavors melded. Definitely a keeper! I made my own lady fingers, but that's probably not neccesary.

This recipe is so easy to make and was received better then anything I ever baked (not that this cake is baked). It's amazing the feedback I am getting and folks that want to order it. Lady fingers were a bit a hassle to find, but Nob Hill Foods had them.

ended up tossing this- was too custardy and sweet and did not have the texture I was hoping for. I thought they had a layer of melted chocolate in there somewhere.
