  I have made this dish two times now and each time it has been a big success. It is now my go to desert dish for special occasions. I agree there is a lot of cream but it is lovely. Try using the extra to top a cup of coffee yum, or served over fresh fruit. I would like to try to cut the calorie and particularly the fat content as lots of people are health conscious these days and I feel guilty tempting them with such a devilish desert. Any Ideas???

  I wouldn't call it "Best-ever tiramisú", although it's a good recipe. The original, traditional Italian Tiramisú, which contains eggs is much better. As I said before, I liked this recipe, very rich and would easily serve 8 people. I prepared it the night before we went to visit a friend and it was delicious. It doesn't taste good if left in the fridge another night as it becomes dry with a cheesy consistency. I used sherry instead of marsala and it was fine.

  I totally agree with some comments, i.e that it should be called 'cheats' Tiramisu' however if we forget about the name of the recipe then actually this is delicious! I made for a dinner party (6 guests) but had to make my own sponge fingers as one of my guests had a wheat allergy (this was effort but rather yummy).. the cream mixture is really easy although i added probably double the masarla and also needed about double the coffee... i have given 5 stars because it really was scrummy and kept very nicely. I will do keep this in mind in future for parties and am planning to use the cream mix as the topping of a triffle soon!

  I made individual versions of this in small glasses. It went down very well though in future I would use less of the cream mixture and increase the proportion of the coffee soaked biscuits as it was just a little too rich! Very very tasty though and my guests all enjoyed it and had no idea it was so easy!

  I've made this a couple of times and I agree it isn't an authentic tiramisu but it is very tasty, quick and easy to make. I had a dinner party for about 13 people including a couple of hardcore tiramisu fans and this was one of two deserts I made, everyone thought it was delicious! I used Sherry as that was all I had to hand and kept in the fridge for 24 hrs before serving to allow all the flavours to mingle.

  Oh boy this is to die for. I couldnt get Masala wine so i used what i had in the house. I had a little bit of Brandy, Pale cream sherry and a bit of my Salterne. A bit of an unusal mix maybe but it worked a treat. I also added a bit of all of these to the coffee part aswell as the cream. Yummy!!

  This is hardly a Tiramisu! As an Italian I am quite irratated at this recipe being described as the 'Best Ever Tiramisu'! Where are the eggs and why use cream?? Mamma Mia........ ;-)

  I made this for a family party which included kids and old people. I doubled the booze, as didn't think it strong enough with just 75ml. It made loads enough for 10 people. It was great as no raw eggs which are risky for some members of my family. I would recommend this - easy to make.

  I have to agree with earlier comments. This is not 'proper' Tiramisu. The cream makes the mixture too sloppy and the flavour too insipit. In future I will always make it the traditional way using only Mascarpone and eggs! It still is an easy desert to make.

  I made this but was dissapointed. I didnt use any alcohol. I used instant coffee in water. I must have done something wrong because it tasted dreadful. Any ideas please.

  Absolutely gorgeous! I was worried because some of the comments were negative about this recipe....everyone said it was the best tiramisu they'd ever had! I added a touch more Marsala than the recipe called for....yummy!

  I loved this recipe.I am not normally a pudding eater or maker but tried this out for a dinner party. Made it the night before, which means less stress on the night of the party, and everyone loved it. I had quite a bit of the cream mixture left over so used as the filling, with jam, in a victoria sandwich...

  I couldn't wait to try this recipe...but with all honesty it was just too too much cream! I will try making it the traditional way next time with the eggs.

  So easy and I used kahlua, a Mexican coffee liqueur and drambuie, because I'm a bodger of a cook, and it was sublime. I think it was the best "pick me up" I've ever tasted!
