I made this from the recipe and loved it, and then later made it again using Hazelnut flavored Tasters Choice instant coffee. Wow!! Added a whole new dimension. Try it!

These were just as good without the coffee we put coffee on half and not the other half and both were great.

I needed something to serve for a last minute dinner date. This worked out great. I had all the ingrediences to make it on hand. It was a hit. The only thing is next time i will try without the coffee.

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.

i tried this recipe last nite for a party i'm having tonight. Was so quick and i always set aside a tasting size for me. Tasted this morning and my small batch i made for myself was amazing. I adjusted recipe a little by adding Kaluha liquer.

This is a great recipe. The most difficult part is the waiting period and I keep looking in the refrigerator counting minutes

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.
