The cheese cake had a very light taste, but the cooking directions were too long. The cake came out with a brown top which is not attractive. I would recommend reduceing the cooking time by at least ten minutes and adding a half can of condensed milk to give the cake a velvet texture.

Thought this might help some cut the cost of this cake. mascarpone = mascherpone = Italian cream cheese Pronunciation: mas-car-POH-nay Notes: A key ingredient in tiramisu and zabaglione, mascarpone is velvety soft, slightly acidic, and very expensive. Although Italian in origin, the name may come from the Spanish mas que bueno, "better than good." It's usually sold in tubs. Use it soon after you purchase it since it's highly perishable. Substitutes: Blend 8 ounces softened cream cheese with 1/4 cup whipping cream. OR Blend 8 ounces softened cream cheese with 1/4 cup butter and 1/4 cup cream OR Blend 8 ounces softened cream cheese with 1/8 cup whipping cream and 1/8 cup sour cream. OR Whip ricotta cheese in a blender until smooth (lower in fat)

This was delicious!! I garnished it with chocolate hearts and sprinkled cocoa on top and it looked beautiful! I couldn't believe that I made this. It was thick, creamy, and really, really good!

This dessert was the hit of our holiday gathering. Everyone wanted the recipe! I doubled the Kahlua as recomended in the other reviews which worked great. With less I think you would have trouble telling it from a plain cheesecake. Very easy!

I got rave reviews when I made this for a dinner party. I did double the liquor in both the crust and the filling. I didn't use mascarpone cheese since it is so expensive. I did a substitute of 8 oz. cream cheese softened with 1 tablespoon of cream. Also, I think next time I make it I might cook the crust a little bit before I put the filling on top. It fell apart too easily.

I found this a costly recipe to make with little payback in terms of flavour. There was not enough tiramisu taste.

My family is STILL raving about this cheesecake! They loved every last bite of it and are waiting for another one. I found that it was easiest to make fine crumbs out of the lady fingers by putting them in a food processor. Well worth the effort!

I made this for a college graduation party! The only complaint is I should have made at least two! The ingredients are a bit pricy (Marscapone is too "exotic" for most grocery stores in my area, so I had to go to a gourmet store), but overall it was worth it. Thanks for submitting!

Quick, easy, wonderful! I did like everyone else and doubled the amount of Kahlua, and since I couldn't find any ladyfingers in Houston, I used 'Nilla wafers...I have NOT stopped getting compliments. Don't worry about serving this to kids...all the alcohol bakes out of the cake, if they'll eat it, let 'em!

A huge hit with my very italian, cheesecake-loving famliy! Making it was difficult, however, and I was unable to avoid a large crack down the middle. The ingredients added up to be quite expensive, especially the marscapone cheese, which can also be difficult to find. But it was worth the effort - it was creamy and delicious. There was very little left over, and unfortunately the cat found her way into it!

I made this for my sister in laws engagement party. There were lots of other desserts, but everyone was raving about this cheesecake. It disappeared within minutes. As per the other comments, I did add twice as much liquor to the crust and filling. I was able to find a liquor called Tiramisu which is great. I decorated it using chocolate ganache. I put chocolate swirls around the top edge, and topped each "rosette" with a chocolate covered coffee bean. I will make this again and again.

This cheesecake recipie is so good! Take your time and make sure the ladyfingers are crumbled very fine and use Kahlua Liqueur. It will turn out just like a gourmet Italian desert! It is the best cheesecake I've made yet and I am a lover of cheesecake!

Very easy to make and everyone said it tasted really good but said it didn't remind or taste like Tiramisu like they thought it would. None-the-less a very good recipe. Thanks
