I haven't made this but it sounds wonderful. However, I would make a few modifications. I don't think peppermint and espresso go very well together, so I would eliminate the coffee. I would add more grated chocolate, and I would switch out the brandy or rum for peppermint schnapps.

I am know for my desserts and so made this great sounding dessert I saw prepared on Napa Style last week. I am glad my guests could not come to Christmas dinner today! The cheese was grainy, the peppermint garnish took on moisture and looked like wet pink somethings on the top. The chocolate flavor was hardly there. The ladyfingers were dry or soggy. The recipe called for 6 TBSP. of grated chocolate. How much do I buy? How many candy canes in 1 1/4 cups? The candy canes should have been written: 1 1/4 cups of crushed candy canes (about 12 average size. It did not look very pretty through the glass serving dish. Who came up with and then wrote up this recipe??? It was an expensive disappointment!

I watched the episode in which this was made on TV, but after I read the bad reviews it was given here, I decided to try to use the complaints others had with this to try to improve it. I used 2 c moscarpone and 2 c light cream cheese instead of the 4 c ricotta (let sit at room temp. and stir well to make it creamy enough to spread and the traditional vermouth (which I have always used in tiramisu instead of rum or brandy. I was still not thrilled with the combination of the peppermint, chocolate, and traditional tiramisu flavors (the recipe may just be innately flawed, but I did receive several compliments on the dessert and certainly was at least able to enjoy it myself. If I make this again, I may try it without the chocolate; it adds little besides a decorative touch.

I made it for a dinner party for some friends and they all loved it! It is not very difficult to make and is delicious. Spice up your tiramisu recipe with this twist! :

I'm sorry I didn't read the other reviews before making this dessert. It's a little heavy and not as flavorful as I had hoped.

Hard to give this one star. Absolutely terrible. Made for a gourmet dinner party of 8 and not one person could eat it.
Unbelievable that this would be a recommendation by anyone, none the less a top chef or so claimed.
Biggest disappointment from anything pulled off of the web site.

bad, bad, bad, bad

I was disappointed with this recipe. The flavors were very good, but the texture ruined the dish. The ricotta cheese made the texture grainy. Perhaps a smoother cheese, such as mascarpone would work better.
