    I prepared this recipe for a pot luck and had but a spoonful left to enjoy later. The recipe seemed very easy.

    This is the easiest recipe to make a great Tiramisu. My whole family love it. By the way, I use lady finger instead of pound cake.

    I think this was my first time trying tiramisu as the original dessert and not as some sort of flavour (like pina colada flavoured candy cane.

    The only reason I decided to make this was to use up some leftover mascarpone. I wasn't a big fan of mascarpone by itself but I didn't want it to go to waste because it was fairly expensive.

    I didn't really like the dessert very much the first time I ate it but it tasted better and better as I kept eating it over the course of a few days. Now I like it.

    Using pound cake instead of traditional lady fingers was a nice substitution. I used frozen Sara Lee poundcake which is very good on its own and easy to cut into the required dimensions.

    I had never made tiramisu prior to downloading this recipe. I found it easy to make and I served it for Valentine's day with a group of friends who all really liked it. One individual commented that it was just right - not too sweet. My only caution would be this is not a cheap dessert to make due to the amount of marscapone cheese called for.

    Super easy, super quick and always popular. I've also substituted the alcohol, but like it either way.

    This was my first try at a tiramisu and it was definitely a crowd pleaser. It was simple, easy, and very impressive. I used Kaluha (coffee liquer instead of the Marsala and several people told me they typically don't like tiramisu, but loved this one one because of the Kaluha. Also, I just used my left over French Roast coffee from the morning and it worked fine in case you don't want to buy the instant expresso.

    I searched for a long time to find a truly great Tiramisu that didn't require raw eggs (as I ended up very sick with salmonella a few years ago after eating Ceasar salad made with raw eggs, and this wonderful dessert is just perfect. You won't even miss the raw eggs, and it's so easy to make

    I first made this for a brdal shower and it was a big hit. It tastes so much more involved than it is. it is easy and yummy! I have used coffee liquor in place of the brandy and it was good too.
