  Made this desert instead of Marsala I used brandy, omitted chocolate chips but after leaving over night to mature, it was far better than any other Tiramisu I have tasted. I dusted it with cocoa powder instead of chocolate. Why ever the Italians require egg in it beats me!!

  Changes I made to the recipe: I only had half the required amount of cream Sugar, 5 tbsps sounded like an awful lot so I added 3 - 4 desert spoons and this was sweet enough for my family with two teenagers. Brandy in place of Marsala 1 tablespoon coffee granules decaf clipper...still a good coffee flavour Despite my modifications, this recipe worked and tasted very similar to Tiramisu we ate in Italy. However, I agree with comments made by others and next time I will make either half the quantity of cream mixture or double the quantity of sponge for a large party of folk. Very rich so small portions. I shall definitely be making again (",)

  I made mine with sponge trifle blocks rather than fingers, it went down really well with my birthday dinner party guests, all gobbled up. I am unaware as to the authenticity as an Italian pudding but then again I don't really care, it tasted great !

  Excellent recipe, although nothing to compare it with as have never made proper Tiramisu, what with all the faffing about, long time to prepare in other recipies viewed elsewhere and raw egg involved. This however is lovely, I made it without marsala as I didn't have any and son no. 1 wouldn't have tried it if I had. Made another version with Wheat free ginger buscuits instead of sponge fingers, which also went down well apparently.

  No stars. Sorry Good Food this is not Tiramisu, not even close! This is a very disappointing recipe as the standard on Good Food is generally much higher. Please consider adding a genuine Italian Tiramisu recipe with espresso, no double cream, eggs, vanilla and more marsala. The whole idea of this dessert is the bitter, sweet and boozy contrast of the ingredients, if you dump a load of grated chocolate on top instead of top quality cocoa then the fine balance is destroyed.

  Both me and my guests thought this was delicious. It might be a cheat's recipe, but it was a lot better than a lot of the watery restaurant tiramisus I've had in the past. I added amaretto instead of marsala, and dark chocolate with orange oil in, and it was gorgeous. Also I did it in an ordinary sized trifle dish, and this made three layers. It probably could have done with a few more sponges, and there was a lot of cream, but we served this between 8 rather than 6 people, so it didn't overface everyone. The portions looked small, but believe me, it was ample. If you bought more sponges, you could also make a bigger tiramisu with the amount of cream you have. Lovely, easy to make, and best chilled overnight.
