this is so easy, can be done ahead of time, and everyone loves it. It is a no brainer for our parties.

This was my first go at tiramisu and boy did it go great. I used a home-made irish cream liquer which just set it over the top. My entire family and friends loved it so much that I am about to make another one to satisfy their appetite. Gr8 recipe Giada

Heaven in your mouth made easy! ( Note: added a shot of Bailey's Irish Cream to the icing instead of using the coffee liqueur which I did not have

I think the "cream" was too heavy; maybe less marscapone. Also, it wasn't as sweet as I hoped for so I would do a little less espresso powder and maybe a little more powdered sugar. otherwise a great and easy dessert!

I loved this recipe!

What coffee liqueur do you guys use? I used Kahlua, but I am thinking Evil Monk might be better.

Christine, the only problem with your argument is that Giada is suggesting a store bought angel food cake. Now, is that not of the same ilk as Sandra Lee. I would never invest in a great icing like this for anything other than a home make angel food cake which fortunately does not cost that much to make. If people are frustrated with cost, that is understandable and we don't need to counter. I am only countering you because of the obvious I already stated. The icing, which is really the recipe, is good.

I have used slices of angel food cake to substitute for the lady fingers in Tiramisu, and it worked great. Depending on how thick you slice the cake, you may need to increase the amount of the coffe-liquer mixture and let it soak for awhile.
BTW, I use Gale Gand's recipe.

I get so tired of hearing people complain about the cost of ingredients in Giada's recipes. Come on people Either follow the recipe and budget the cost of a certain meal into your monthly food allowance or find a cook like Sandra Lee. In Italy, the people spend more on food than we ever do based on income. But they eat fresh and healthy. Italian ingredients are costly and substituting other similar things just won't cut it. Stop complaining and enjoy a simple pleasure of life...good food.

Great last minute elegance. Family loved. Husband especially since he considers tiramisu too soggy. Easy to adapt to your personal taste also. Can't wait to experiment with.
