wow! I made this for my birthday cake. it came out perfect! What amazed me the most was that it was so easy! (of course I didn't tell my guests. We'll keep that just between us cooks.) The other thing that impressed me was how beautifully it cut! even the first peice had nicely layered sides. I doubled the espresso-rum mixture and spread it on with a pastry brush. I also whisked the egg mixture the whole time it was cooking. Definitely a good recipe!

This is just like the tiramisu you'd find at a restaurant. i experimented with it a few times and here's a few tips. Definetly double the coffee mixture and try using kahlua instead of the rum. and also make sure you are using SOFT lady fingers. for presentation i find it looks better in smaller individual glass serving bowls (or a bowl for two after a romantic dinner). i just line the bowl with ladyfingers around the circumference first. and lastly, make this ahead of time. not only will it save you time on the night of your dinner, but the flavors really come out after it sits in the fridge for a day.

I loved this recipe and so did everyone who tried it! I did change a few things though, I was debating which recipe to make, this one or the "Classic Tiramisu" on this website, so I kinda combined the two. I started out following the directions in this recipe up to step 2 but then I combined the yolk mixture and the whipped cream mixture together with a hand mixer until combined well and used Kahlua instead of rum to soak the ladyfingers in. I brought this to work and one person thought that I had bought this from an Italian bakery. My daughter said she was in heaven and that I had to make more. A wonderful desert to impress with.

This recipe is amazing! I brewed 3/4 cup of super strong espresso, added 4 TBS of Kahlua and brushed half on each layer of ladyfingers with a pastry brush then let it sit for two days. I have never had such delicious tiramisu in my life!!!

Made it for a dinner party and it was a hit! Even the kids loved it. When cooking the egg, sugar and milk mixture keep stirring else it'll turn lumpy. I stuck it into the freezer for 30 minutes instead. Doubled the dose of the coffee and rum (it will smell extremely rummy, don't worry) as advised by other reviewers. Lovely texture.

This was awesome. I used twinkies instead of lady fingers, cut them in half and soaked them in the tripled coffee/liquor mix. I used vanilla rum & kaluha (sp?) and sprinkled 2 layers with powdered mocha. Will keep this recipe forever!!!

This was amazing! I’m normally not a big fan of Tiramisu, but my mom loves it so I decided to make this for her and I’m glad I did! I tripled the coffee/rum mixture because I think that’s where the flavor of the cake really comes from. Also make sure to stir the egg mixture CONSTANTLY!!! while its cooking. If you stop stirring it will clump together and you’ll have sugary scrambled eggs. I stopped stirring for just a tiny moment and had to strain the lumps out.

This recipe is fabulous. It turned out beautifully. The ladyfingers must be different here in Europe though becase they were way too small to cut in half.

Great recipe! I am a very picky Tiramisu eater and this was great. I used Kahlua instead, and lots of it. I don't have an espresso machine so I just used espresso grinds in a regular coffee machine. I also sifted a little unsweetened cocoa powder between layers and added a little on top, it made the presentation nicer and complimented the coffee flavor nicely.

Great recipe. As earlier reviewers said, it's necessary to refridgerate at least a day in advance to meld flavors. Also, I suggest tripling the amount of coffee and rum and making the coffee very, very, very strong.

I made this recipe and followed the suggestions to double the coffee mixture. I also used Kahlua. Since I have never made Tiramisu before I was wondering how the once crunchy now soggy ladyfingers would turn out. Well to answer the question, I have to make three more this week. Cutting the ladyfingers in half is a pain. Some reviewers suggested not doing so. I believe it would not make a difference. I also plan to make this substituting the ladyfingers with pound cake.

This is the recipe to try if you´ll make your Tiramisu. I was unsure wich recipe to try, ´cause others had more reviews. Lucky me, I try this one. My husband, a very picky eater, loved this and didn´t stop the MMMM! while he was eating. The milk in the egg mixture makes the difference. Few tips: 1. make 2 days ahead, it´s the peak of flavors and consistency. 2. double the amount of coffe/liquor, it´s not enough. 3. use soft lady finger, the others are just like rocks. 4. don´t be tempted to lower the amount of sugar, I did based on a preview review, big mistake, went from a 3/4 cup wich is what the recipe call for, to 2/3 cup, the little extra sugar was missing, and I don´t have a sweet tooth. 5. serve chilled, just my taste but it´s wonderful in this warm day to have a cold dessert. 6. be carefull, one piece of this has tons of calories, your waist and hips are going to tell you sooner than later. 7. mix well the egg and sugar and when you cook the mixture NEVER stop beating, this makes a silky smoth texture. 8. with a electrical mixer add the mascarpone to the milk/egg, this way you avoid clumps and keeps the silky texture.

This is an incredibly easy dessert that tastes and looks like it was much more difficult to make. It is very important to let it set in the refrigerator for the time stated to allow the coffee flavor to mix with the ladyfingers and the filling. Otherwise the filling will not be sweet enough! I generously drizzled the coffee on the ladyfingers because I found that if I soaked them, they fell apart. I also used a spring form pan lining the sides with the ladyfingers which made a beautiful presentation. Your friends are sure to be impressed with this one!

it was good but it didn't have the exact flavor of tirimisu. what was lacking was the coffe flavor. if anyone makes this you NEED to soak the ladyfingers in the coffee not drizzle them. my boyfriend ate one piece and has not returned fr seconds in the past 3 days which is very unlike him.

this was good! but i'd say that it was really smooth enough. i would use powered sugar next time. it also wasn't really what i was looking for. i hoping for one of those recipes where the tiramisu would had a soft new york cheesecake kind of texture, so basically more firm. I whipped this up along with the whipped cream and layered it : brownie, tiramisu filling, whipped cream. it was definetely rich and satisfies sugar cravings. a keeper, but i'll still be looking for a firmer tiramisu recipe.

Very good but MUST double the expresso and liquor. I will make this again. I decided for presentation sake to make it in a cheesecake pan. Before serving remove the sides of the pan and transfer (with bottom of cheeseake pan) to a pretty serving dish and hide the edges of the pan with sliced strawberries.

Fantastic recipe! Brought it to a family gathering and got raves. I did make a couple of changes - I used espresso rather than coffee and used Kahlua for the liquor. I had the soft kind of ladyfingers and found that brushing them generously with the mixture worked well. I would recommend letting this sit for at least 24 hours for the best flavor. I lightly dusted mine with a cinnamon/cocoa powder mixture just before serving.
