AWESOME!!! I've been making this recipe for several years now, and each time it turns out FABULOUS!!! Never had a problem with it being too runny. Definitely need to whip those egg yolks for the whole 5- 6 min (maybe even a smidge longer. A hand mixer works best for this recipe. Perfect combination of rum and espresso, YUM! Great holiday or any day desert ;

Very disappointing. I tried this recipe twice, and it was VERY runny both times. Tasted great, but horrible texture.

I've made this 3 times now. The first time was wonderful, second time, the filling was way too runny, and the third was good. Each time, I followed the recipe the same using my KitchenAid Professional stand mixer, but don't know why the second time was sooooo runny. The recipe calls for a total of 2C. rum espresso and I had a whole cup left over after dipping. I used the dry Italian savoiardi, not the soft American ladyfingers. I would suggest whipping the egg yolks for to a VERY thick consistency (more than 5 min. and would mix in the mascarpone before adding the liquids so you only add enough liquid to a soft BUT NOT runny custard consistency.

This is absolutely delicious! You really do have to follow the directions exactly and whip the eggs yolks until pale and thick. I used strong Starbucks coffee with Kahlua (less than the 1/2 cup just because I didn't want too much of an alcohol taste. I also made some fresh whipped cream and sprinkled with chocolate shavings. So good! I wish the Italian ladyfingers were more widely available since I couldn't find them I had to use the soft ones. Just barely dunked them in the liquid.

This tiramisu recipe was delicious! I made this for a Valentine's Day dinner for my sweetheart and there were no leftovers by the next day. I could not find any Italian ladyfingers in any of my local stores, so I had to get creative. It turns out, in a pinch, using almond biscotti instead makes a lovely tiramisu. Just dip the biscotti in the espresso-rum mixture for an extra second. I can't wait to try this with chocolate biscotti next time!

Awesome!!! I used Kahlua instead of rum and put a layer of whipped cream on top for an extra element of flavor. Beat the eggs/sugar for the full 5 min, and then a good 2-3 min (on medium after you've added the Kahlua/espresso/mascarpone. Let the espresso cool for a bit or else it'll melt the mascarpone mixture. My wife is a tiramisu connoisseur and said it was the best ever (and she's insisting that she's not just being nice.

Really good. If you like tiramisu and have ever tried to make it then you know how challenging it can be. This is a good "break-it-down recipe" to get you through the process. I used espresso instead of rum because I did not have any rum on hand. I thought it still came out wonderful. It might have been a bit runny for some but who cares when it tastes this good?!?

This was my first time making tiramisu. One thing I did was read the reviews and you Have to follow the recipe to a tee. I beat the eggs and sugar for 5 minutes, then when I added the rum, espresso and cheese, I beat it on medium for at least 2 minutes and it thickened up just fine. I think next time I'm going to use Kahlua to give it more of the coffee flavor than the rum.
