I've been making my tiramisu cake several times already, following this recipe. Instead of using espresso, I use the instant mocca coffee mixed with kahlua. It's just sooo yummy and everybody in my family loves it! Absolutely a keeper!

Okay, so after 4 times making the cake (at least 1 &1/2 time failed) here some of my lessons: reduce the milk, too much milk will make the cheese mixture soft and not good to hold the shape. Put the cheese out of the fridge until room temperature- so it wouldn't create lump. Bake the ladyfingers at 250 for 5-7 mins so it would stay harder and not soggy when you try to dip into the coffee. And most important, let the cake stays on the fridge at least 12 hours. The longer it stays, the stronger the shape and the tastier it is. You can also sprinkle another cocoa cover after the first layer. I'm a guy and I make this for my birthday as well as 2 of my friends'. The cake quickly went out in 30 minutes- enough said!

The best base Tiramisu recipe that I have found. I use Kahlua in place of rum, quadruple the coffee and Kahlua amounts, I did not split the ladyfingers but dipped them whole. I also whipped the mascarpone into the cooled custard then folded in the whipped cream.

This is by far the most requested recipe in my arsenal. I recently made lady fingers from scratch to see how it works the next time I make this. The recipe needs no improvement but why not give making the cookies from scratch a whirl.

I made this for my husband and he absolutely LOVED IT! He prides himself on a bit of Tiramisu connoisseur and devoured the entire pan (sized 13 x 9) in three days! The only rum I had in the house was white Bicardi rum, next time I'll try it with Captain Morgan's dark run. Recommendations: - Have it sit overnight; it definitely soaked up more of the flavors - Use an electric hand mixer to ensure a smooth texture and achieve a balanced flavor (it'll even out all the ingredients) Thank you for the recipe... TOTAL HIT! :)

this is my first time making tiramisu and it turned out GREAT. i didnt have ladyfingers so i substituted with pound cake instead. worked just fine. Put it in the fridge overnight , so eventhough it was a bit soft and runny in the beginning , the next day it was just perfect .

It is a good recipe, but it is not a proper tiramisu.

This recipe was well-rated, so I gave it a try. Fantastic! Sooo easy too. A couple adjustments however: I followed several reviewers advice and tripled both the coffee and the booze (I used kahlua for booze and espresso for coffee). This is a lot of the flavour and since the lady fingers absorb it all so quickly it is very important to have plenty of coffee/booze. Also, try and have the mascarpone at room temperature before mixing in...otherwise it'll likely be lumpy. Other than that, great recipe! Will definitely make again.
