Fantastic! It's equally delicious with regular lady fingers or with gluten free lady fingers. YUM YUM.

Next time, try reducing powdered sugar to 1 1/2 cups.

I've made this Tiramisu a number of times -- it's great. The first time I made the Lady Fingers as discribed, and they came out perfectly. However, they were a lot of messy work for what they are. From then on, I decided to use a vanilla cake mix, subsituting half the liquid with Ameretto Liqour. Then I cut the cake into full layers and followed the recipe to the letter... I've also played with using Ameretto in the filling as well -- vrs Rum. Very nice. It's always been a total hit at dinner parties, not overly sweetm creamy and light. The longer it sits the better it seems to get which is perfect when throwing a party -- I make it the day before or in the morning... I even turned it into a birthday cake a few times... but digging a well in the layer cake for the filling, and going a little lighter on the syrop -- Boiled frosting all over... Yummy!

Used store-bought cookies (layered them and poured the syrup on top)... used TIA MARIA instead of the RUM, used just unsweetened cocoa for the topping, reduced the sugar in syrup and filling by about 25%... still MORE than sweet enough and super yummy! thanks for a keeper!

Wow! This was a group effort with the hubby and the 5 year old, but it totally paid off. I followed the recipe to a T (almost) used godiva liquer in the syrup, and made three rounds of lady fingers for the trifle dish (no sides) had to cut them a bit to fit in the bottom of the trifle (aka the bottom is smaller than the top that you trace ;-) Next would shave the chocolate on each layer and then just a little on top for decoration. The flavor was great, maybe a little strong on the liquor. The pieces themselves were great, but the soupy stuff on the bottom shouldn't be served. After the first scoop was taken we "drained" the trifle and the rest was great!

This recipe was fine - I think I just prefer a more dense tiramisu and the flavor was a bit eggy. My grandfather called it "poofy" and I think that describes it perfectly.

Really good tho I cheated and bought ladyfingers from the Italian bakery. Unfortunately it was wasted on my family who didn't even know what tiramisu is. Their loss.

fantastic recipe...I got tired of chasing store bought ladyfingers. also the cake itself is prettier and more impressive looking than a square cake. I have to be honest though, I use a different filling as there are so many out there that individual tastes dictate whats best.

This was too sweet and didn't have enough coffee flavor.

This recipe is truly Devine. If you are a tiramisu lover, this is the one. I was asked to make a tiramisu for an Italian themed dinner party. I loke tiramisu, but it normally isn't one of my favorit deserts. This tiramisu is definately on my list of favorites now. Making your own lady fingers is well worth it. I didn't use all of the rum as called for in the cream, but instead used a little bit of the rum and added a bit of rum extract. It was perfectly well balanced in flavor. Next time I make it though I will make extra of the lady fingers. They weren't enough of them to circle around the timamisu all the way. Thx. Emily
