  This is great - I used amareto instead of Marsala. Brown Vanilla sugar instead of caster; used strong espresso 500ml. and flakes from Charbonnel and Walker. Try it with a cadbury's flake.

  I am Italian and you use an egg in tiramisu and if you don't you are a cheat.

  I made this but edited it a little bit Put 300ml of double cream instead of 568ml (It still made plenty of servings!), I used Coffee liqueur instead of Marsala, I put 80ml in the cream and about 60ml in the coffee mixture then reduced the coffee and liqueur before dipping the biscuits in. With a bit of tweeking this recipe is great and You don't have to put raw egg in which is a major plus for me, also no sugar syrups which really helps when washing up after!

  Nice easy recipe, a good one for those who cannot eat egg. I made mine with madeira cake which I have an abundance of in the freezer. I also used ameretti instead of marsala which we don't like. Nothing wrong with this recipe, makes a change not to be slaving over perfection. D E L I C I O U S!! thank you.

  This is a fab recipe, I found however, that adding one egg yolk to the mixture makes it more creamy and authentic! LOVELY!!!

  I recently made this for a 50th Birthday dinner party and it went down a storm. Soooooooooo easy to make! Authentic Italian it is not.......but still delicious and can be made the day before. I did use less cream- approx 400ml as i wanted to be able to taste the mascarpone ( I used the rest to pour over when serving!) Also I didn't have any Marsala so I put a mix of Brandy and Disaronno with the coffee for dipping the sponge fingers. Also added a little Disaronno to the Cream mixture. This recipe served 9 people who all devoured it with gusto!! Very yummy!!! :-)

  I have been making this for years since it was printed in Good Food Magazine. It never fails to work or to impress.

  Made for a dinner party of 8. Needed a dessert to make in advance and this was ideal. Easy to make. Everyone enjoyed this version of tiramisu very much.

  I made this as a part of a special dinner for my boyfriend... and it went down very well with him saying its the best tiramisu he has ever tasted! I didn't have any marsala and couldn't afford to buy some so used Port instead that we had lying about which gave it a very nice flavour. Instead of grating the chocolate, I did chocolate curls on top to decorate which looked great, all you have to do is grab a knife at both ends and scrape it along the chocolate bar towards you! A very easy uncomplicated recipe!

  really folks this is a trifle, it doesn't taste much like a tiramisu.... but hey i like trifle so this was just about edible... but not if you make it for guests and they're expecting tiramisu, they're gonna be dissapointed... a bit like ordering a creme brulee in a fancy restaurant and being served a bowl of cold custard, it's ok if you like cold custard & didn't mind being led up the garden path by the waitor

  The name of this pudding is 100% correct. I am not very good at making puddings and don't actually attempt them much, but my sister loves tiramisu so I gave it a try. Confession: I forgot to put the marsala in the mixture and only remembered after putting first layer in dish so that is when I mix it into the cream mixture for the second layer. My guests said that it was better as some tiramisu's the alcohol taste is too strong but not this one. I will be making this again and again and again x

  If you are Italian, this may be a "cheat" version .... but it certainly hit the spot at my party. Everyone loved it. Doubled the recipe easily. Made it the day before as suggested. Compliments all around.

  Try Amaretto and a nice Italian espresso coffee. For the bottom layer use trifle sponges with the harder side down, as this gives it a firm base.

  We didin't have all the ingredients so we replaced marsala bij Triple Sec and the coffee mixture for dipping by a mixture of orange juice, zest, triple sec and bitter marmalade. (briefly in the blender to chop up the marmalade) It was absolutely lovely.we liked it more than the original tiramisu.

  Made this as dessert for Christmas lunch. I used Ameretto instead of Marsala, and 300ml double cream, still turned out perfect. Thanks BBC Good Food, another of your great desserts.
