This recipe is fabulous and easy to make. I searched and reviewed several Tiramisu recipes before settling on Giada's version. My dinner guests raved about the lightness of the custard/cheesy filling and the subtle favor of the espresso soaked ladyfingers. Speaking of soaked ladyfingers, I used Frangelico instead of the rum . . . it was super yummy. When making the espresso called for in this recipe, I used my stovetop Bialletti espresso maker and was quite pleased with the result. The coffee flavor combined with the Frangelico was a perfect balance.
Will definitely use this recipe again when making Tiramisu.

I made this dessert for my mom for her birthday. I do not like Tiramisu usually, but this recipe was AMAZING! It couldn't have been easier/more delicious. Will make over and over!!

The recipe is a breeze to work with. I made it a little differently, and the ingredient sizes are spot on.
After mixing the eggs etc, and making the cream, I line the soaked ladyfingers in a row of 8. I then cover with the cream and add a second , and then a third layer, then cover this loaf with the remaining cream. Then refrigerate this overnight. Next day, I slice it into individual slices, wrap in saran wrap, and freeze.
When required, remove from freezer, unwrap frozen, and place on individual plates. Leave for 1/2 hour and serve.
This way, you always have this delish treat, on hand!!
Thanks Giada!!

This was the Best Tiramisu we've ever eaten. I followed the recipe exactly as written and put them into martini glasses and topped with chocolate curls. Found the hard lady fingers at our local Kroger in the Italian section and just dipped them into the espresso for 5 seconds. So quick and easy to put together, and you can do it ahead of time. Thank you Giada.

I've made this recipe on many, many occasions. The only time I was slightly disappointed was the first time as I used those TERRIBLE lady fingers in the supermarkets. It took me a long time to find ITALIAN lady fingers. From that point on it became one of the easiest dessert recipes I've made. I'm loving the reviews saying to use Kahlua instead of rum. I'm planning on making it this weekend for Mother's Day. You can fix this up any way you need to. I've put it in a pretty bowl, I've made up individual servings, and I've made it in a loaf pan and sliced it like a cake, then sprinkled cocoa powder on it. I've also put chocolate shavings on it. Truly a fabulous recipe as long as you have no difficulties finding the right lady fingers and the marscapone

I have been making this recipe ever since I first saw it on food network. It is AMAZING! The only thing is, I use 1.5 lb of mascarpone and 9 egg yolks. It makes it much creamier. I also add some espresso powder to espresso coffee. It intensifies the taste of coffee in the cream. I have been told by people that this is THE BEST Tiramisu they ever had, including the ones in Italy. Oh, and another thing, you HAVE TO use italian made lady fingers. They are different than the ones we have in the states. Soak them very quickly, so that they do not get soggy.

This was an expensive failure. I do not think anyone made this recipe before posting it. The pan was too big. I cannot believe all the 4 star ratings. That makes me question the authenticity of the reviews.

This recipe is super easy and literally fool proof. You need to use the hard Italian ladyfingers...you can get them anywhere. I got mine at my local Trader Joes. If you want to leave out the rum, just use a little vanilla extract instead. There is also no need to soak the ladyfingers for 5 minutes! They will mush and fall apart...like Giada says in the recipe...5 seconds is enough!
