My family loved this recipe/ I have used rum in cakes andother desserts and knew what to expect. If I wanted traditional tiramisu, I would have made the oiginal recipe but I thought this was an interesting variation. By the way the alcohol evaporates and you are left with just the flavor, so it's no like you are serving alcohol to people.

I made this for Easter and it was great. I cut down the rum by half and to me it was perfect but my kids weren't crazy about the strong rum flavor so next time I make it I will use very little rum. Iwant to also try her regular tiramisu recipe.

First, every good cook always makes a recipe at least once or twice before serving it to company. Secondly, if the item is cooked for at least 30 min. on heat, most of the alcohol cooks out. Thirdly, my stores carry a complete line of denatured wines and alcohols...I keep a big bottle of rum and wine w/o the alcohol for this very reason...plus they are a great deal cheaper than extracts. Personally, to adjust this recipe to be similar to original tiramisu...I would use the two tbls. on the raisins, two tbls.(one ounce in the custard and the same one ounce in the orange juice for the ladyfingers. Then to stretch that out further, before I put the service of chocolate curls on, I top each serving with whipped cream and curls...I don't put it in the whole pan as it draws moisture.

Is this the Food Network or the Religulous Network (in hommage to Bill Maher? As stated, if you don't approve of alcohol, don't try, OR REVIEW, a recipe whose primary ingredient is RUM - and which you haven't MADE OR TASTED. That said, I followed some of the reviewers advice and cut down on the rum, and this recipe was delicious. Use your brains people, the recipes are not written in stone. If it seems like too much, reduce the quantity to your taste. Further, for the EGG PHOBES out there, have you ever had ceasar salad? What I do when I make ceasar is to boil the egg for 1-2 minutes before using the yolk. It doesn't change the texture as long as you do not boil too long. Although I am not a scientist, I believe this kills any germs lurking on the outside of the egg, which is where (I believe any food born illness would be introduced.

People. Really? I agree with Mev. This recipe traditionally has alcohol in it. That's part of what makes it what it is. Shame on you for giving a recipe a low rating because it has alcohol in it. If you don't like alcohol, don't make tiramisu. Get out your Betty Crocker cookbook and make a chocolate cake. This is a great recipe...yum, yum rum!

IT SEEMS LOGICAL, TO ME, THAT IF YOU DON'T LIKE ALCOHOL OR ARE AFRAID OF USING RAW EGGS, YOU MERELY PASS ON THIS RECIPE. BUT TO RATE IT BECAUSE OF RELIGIOUS PRINCIPLES, PAST TRAUMATIC EVENTS OR FEAR OF RAW EGGS IS SIMPLY RIDICULOUS.

after reviewing the recipe and reading the reviews, I wondered how a restaurant could serve this dish with raw eggs to the public. Is this really their recipe? I won't waste my ingredients on trying this one.

I am a hugh fan of Ina's recipes and have successfully tried many. With respect to the Rum Raisin Tiramisu, we was extremely disappointed. My wife and I had friends over for a lovely dinner and it was an exceptional meal excluding the dessert. During preparation, we questioned the fact that recipe called for 6 large eggs and was not heated in double boiler, etc. The rum flavor was too much to the point that we thought the recipe was incomplete. I love tiramisu but this particular recipe is not edible as recipe states. Sorry

I LOVE rum as much as the next acoholic but GEEZ! There is no discernable reason why you would want an entire cup of rum in much of anything - much else something as delicate as tiramisu.

I used 1/2cup of Myers rum and it was still too much. Next time, I'll forego soaking the ladyfingers in as much rum and while keeping the amount for the rest to about 1/3cup. Since the dish is allowed to set overnight, I believe the rum soaked ladyfingers coupled with the amount used the recipe ends up being TOO much.

It sucks because it wasn't edible.

i thought this had way too much rum. i would have liked it alot better with 1/2 as much. i love rum but 1 cup was way too much to enjoy. i made it with just a little rum and it was great.
