CHERYL GORHAM from Baltimore, MD

for someone that has never liked tiramisu, i can say that this recipe wasn't bad, very good flavors and you can change it around a little bit if you like i would make it for my guests, but now a regular for me.

I'm sorry to say I didn't like the coffee taste, so I added pure vanilla, and really got a lot of good comments about the different taste.

*instant hit and a perfect choice"

Sudha Hariharan from Toronto, ON

This was truly a success and an instant hit in my house as it just melted in the mouth and surely increased the craving for it and also earned a compliment for me that it was the perfect choice for the party that we had the other day.

leah randall from PANAMA CITY, FL

very good but i used regular cream cheese not fat free
Restaurant standard tiramisu

Susan Loh from Calgary, AB

This is as good as any restaurant Tiramisu and so easy to make. No more store bought tiramisu for us from now on! I could not find Nestle cookie dough, so used (Italian) Ladyfingers biscuit instead and it turned out great. It's also alot cheaper than recipes using mascapone cheese (a tub is quite expensive here in Canada). This is definitely a keeper!
Wonderful

GINNIE NELSON from LAKE VILLA, IL

This recipe has it all. It's easy, looks picture perfect without extra trouble and tastes wonderful. What more could you ask of a dessert. It's a keeper.

I took this to a Church Picnic today and got absolutely RAVE reviews.....Even the kids went back till it was gone. YUMMMY. Not difficult at all. Vicki Cochrane
A little too sweet

Melissa from Wilkes-Barre, PA

This recipe is a little too sweet. I think using the cookie dough is what makes it extra sweet. It is less time consuming than making a traditional tiramisu, however shaping the cookie dough is tedious.
easy and elegant

Sabrina from

I'm a food service manager for our local high school. We also do catering so I'm always looking for easy and delicious recipes. When I saw this, I knew I had to try it. I first made it for a church picnic----they licked the pan clean!!! Then I made it for a catered lunch. It was a major hit!!!!
Delicious!

BARBARA STEWART from TULSA, OK

This was the easiest version I have ever made! It was quick to prepare, looked elegant and tasted like I had spent hours on it. Not a crumb was left and that in itself is a great testimomy!
My favorite!!

Quick Tiramisu

Debbye Trueman from FRONT ROYAL, VA

This was really easy to make. Rich,creamy and delicious. My daughter in-law loves Tiramisu and she could not believe that I made this. She went wild and ask me to please make it again soon. No left overs and the one small piece that was left she took home. This is a real keeper.

A little Italian recipe

Loretta Plizka from MILWAUKEE, WI

Usually when I made this dessert I used a regular cake recipe, but this time I tried this receipe and it really worked well for me. I used regular cream cheese instead of lite and was pleased with the results. It is amazing what I can do with a sugar dough.
The Best!

Leslie Tutty from EDMOND, OK

I love this Tiramisu recipe! I brought it to a family gathering last weekend and it was a big hit. In fact, I am sending the recipe to several people who requested it. YUMMY!
Easy gormet dessert

Danny from Colorado springs

It was easy to make. Family thought it was better than the restaurant Tiramisu. I baked it at 350 for 20 min as I'm at high altitude (6500 feet). I decided to cut all 20 pieces in half top to bottom and press the pieces together to get the 1"x2.5" that was called for. If I can make it then anyone can.
Quick Tiramisu

Mary Dempster from HUNTINGTON BEACH, CA

These are so simple to make and look so professional. It is great to get so many compliments especially when you know that it is just the recipe and not the pastry cook. Our family love chocolate but these are a wonderful change of pace. I look forward to making them several times before Christmas this year. Thank you .

NANCY COWLISHAW from POCATELLO, ID

So quick and easy. It tasted wonderful and got rave revues from everyone. It looked so impressive in the glass bowl that everyone thought I had slaved. I'm not telling.

So quick and easy-a keeper in my books!!! And very delicious
Wonderful!!!!!!

Linda Tuttle from KING, NC

My daughter loves tiramisu. I saw this recipe and had to try it. It was so simple and better yet, it was so-o-o good. Sure saves time over making the restaurant version. Too, this tastes just as good. Not too sweet-just right.
Tiramisu suprise

Cheryl Brockett from CLOVIS, CA

This was easy to make and great tasting. I had never heard of Tiramisu when I made it. I took it to a party and everyone went wild for it. They said it was better than in the restaurants.
Very Easy

Sandra Johns from LOS ANGELES, CA

I made this for Thanksgiving last year and it was a hit. Everyone loved it.
I Love Tiramisu!

JAN WILKINS from Blytheville, AR

Most recipes are more involved, especially the cake part, so I was over joyed to find one with the refrigerated sugar cookies. Of course, cooking, and moreso baking is my therapy! Always have to try these recipes, then end up giving them to neighbors so we won't end up eating it all. Especially since my husband is borderline diabetic!
