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!

Awesome tast and super easy to make. I used Mocha Kahlua instead of rum. It was still great!

THe problem everyone has is they are using a spongey ladyfinger. The kind you use are hard like a biscuit and need to soak for 5 minutes just to slightly soften them. The recipe works perfectly fine with the right kind, if you have an Italian market they can be found there.

As this was the first time to attempt Tiramisu, I was very disappointed. There was too much liquid. Obviously I did not have the correct kind of lady fingers. The ones I purchased from my local Meijer store were very soft and soaked up all of the expresso and rum. The whole recipe ended up in the garbage disposal.

Easy recipe. I changed a few things. added 2 more egg yolks. I used Grand Marnier , just a hint of orange. After each layer of the cheese /egg mixture i covered it with grated bittersweet chocolate. I always make extra coffee to make i don't run out. I ended up using about 30 lady fingers, it made 4 layers. Anyway it was gone in 10 minutes...who-ahh!!! A major hit at a birthday party!

Make more strong coffee (or espresso, buy more lady fingers, and dip them only a second. I use KAHULA or AMARETTO instead of rum and it's always DELICIOUS! Thanks for the basics Giada!

I was in a bit of a hurry when looking for a Tiramisu recipe but because this was Giada's recipe - and she's Italian, "raised in an Italian kitchen" as her bio depicts - I thought I couldn't go wrong, and boy was I wrong for thinking that! I wish I would've read the reviews first. The final product was totally off in consistency...way too runny. Tasted ok but not light in texture - like it should be - so that right there kills whatever little good is left. You'll definitely need more than 24 ladyfingers or a smaller pan. Dip these in the espresso for only a second; that should be plenty. You'll also need more espresso or strong coffee than the recipe calls for. Not satisfied AT ALL with the end product - too dense, too runny, too heavy, too wet! Giada, did you try this at home/work before posting the recipe for everyone to make?

This recipe is wonderful. You only need to dip one side of the ladyfingers in the expresso mix for only 3 seconds literally. Or they will fall apart. I like that it's not too sweet. I do mix 2 tbls cocoa & 2 tbls cinnamon to sprinkle on top. This recipe makes great single servings if you layer them in martini glasses. Very romantic & festive. I do that every New Year's Eve with our friends.
