    After making this and finding it (like others completely inedible due to an overpowering rum flavor, I think I know what the problem is. There are two types of lady finger cookies: hard (like a biscotti, and soft (like a sponge cake. Ina's recipe, I now realize, calls for the hard kind (savoiardi. When dipping the soft kind in the rum/OJ mixture, it becomes soaked almost completely through - even when only giving it a quick dunk. The savoiardi, when dipped, would retain only a very slight hint of rum, due to the density of the cookie. The custard on its own, while having a rum flavor, was by no means overpowering - it's just what I would expect from a rum dessert. So the problem must be with the ladyfingers (the raisins are so few in quantity that I don't believe they are the culprit, either. Next time I make this, I will either use the hard ladyfingers, or dip the soft ones in OJ only (I've never made tiramisu with the hard kind, so I'm not sure if I would like the consistency.

    My friends and I liked this dessert. I would use a 9x9 glass baking dish next time. I had a 9x13 and that is waaayyy too big. I made individual servings instead. I used Myer's Dark Rum because I already had a bottle of it. I agree the rum portion should be reduced.

    I also should've read the comments before I spent a fortune on making this recipe! I wanted to try this out before our dinner party next week and thank God I did. My fiance and I were so excited to sit down and taste this dessert, but we ended up throwing the whole thing out after a few bites! The rum is overpowering! Sorry Ina, not sure what you were thinking on this one.

    I should've read the other comments before making this dessert. Taking a spoonful was like taking a swig from the bottle. I like rum raisin ice cream, but this was way too strong. It's a good thing I tasted this before serving to my guests. They would've all passed out on my dining room table.

    Usually enjoying the simplicity and taste of Ina's recipes, I was saddened to taste this dessert. It truly was too much rum and not the typically good balance of sweet and savory...in this case 'kick' as another reviewer suggested. The simplicity was there, the flavor too overwhelmingly rum. I might consider making this again with 1/4 of the called for rum, but will probably go back to a traditional Tiramisu without the rum-soaked raisins.

    I was so excited to make this Tiramisu, specially because it has really good ingredients, however I had to throw the whole thing away. There was too much rum!!!!!!!! I almost cry after spending money and time making it. I will do it again with less rum.

    I read the other reviews written about this recipe, and I decided the comment about the amount of rum was valid. I cut down on the rum in the orange and rum dip for the lady fingers but followed the recipe to the letter otherwise. I served this as a desert for a friend,s 70th dinner party that I hosted it was a massive sucess, and I have since passed on the recipe to several of the guests - well done Ina.

    I made this recipe for Easter and I was so excited about it...until we tasted it! I love Ina with all my heart, but there is definitely WAY too much rum in it. I love a strong drink, but this was too much. It took away all the other flavors. My guess is it was a typo.

    I will for sure give it a second try, with maybe only 2 Tbs. of rum in the mascarpone mix, instead of half a cup.

    I made this for our gourmet group and it was a big hit. We all loved the rum flavor. It was a little runny so I served it in small bowls.

    Too much rum! I know I could try it again with less rum, but the ingredients are pretty spendy
