If you add a little liquor to the coffee it tastes even better also on the last layer of the cake in the cream cheese mixture add 4 or 5 tablespoons of Nutella then you dont need the cacao on top and tastes even better

Sorry, I am again, I made a mistake writing DESERT instead of DESSERT.it is quite usual for foreigner people to make this kind of mistake.Desert= a desert islandDessert= sweet food eaten at the end of a meal.
JajapZ, Philippines
here in the philippines we also have the tiramisu recipe. actually it is made up of biscuits only, specifically the Grahams biscuits.. then it is all up to the individual preference if what will be the toppings of the tiramisu.. i think basically it is made up of biscuits,cream,and any fruits that we prefer to add up.
Carlos, Colombia
It seems really delicious, I've got to try it.

I've made it lots of times and my family loves it! But in the city In which I live It's impossible to obtain Mascarpone cheese, so I have to use another, of course, the taste is not the same.. :(

Antonio, Spain
oh, I like very much tiramisu. I think a typical Spanish cake.
Chiara, Italy
Hi. The eggs must be very fresh. In Italy there aren't problems with the birdflue at the moment. I usually buy fresh eggs at the supermarket.Also the mascarpone must be very fresh. A good mascarpone is milk-white, it has a buttery flavour and it is very soft.
Mariacristina, Italy
This receipt is very good also using ricotta instead of mascapone cheese, lower of fat and instead of using eggs(some people can suffer of allergic problems) use to color the ricotta, zafferano, melt with a dash of milk.my best
J.Moteza, Iran

Agata, Poland
I've made my own recipe for Tiramisu, because I don't used to put uncooked eggs into my dishes. I sometimes put yolks from cooked eggs and I mix it with sugar and Mascarpone cheese and I also don't use whites, I think it's delicious without them as well.For me 1 cup of coffee is enough, but I like to add some alcohol to it, for example a half of a cup of rum or Amaretto
May, Saudi Arabia
Yummy , I like it . Thank you so much Rachele
Alejandra, Argentina
In my town, it is impossible to get Mascarpone. How can I substitute it?Thanks
Sabina, Turkey

Aliye, Turkey
It sounds, looks (and I think, tastes) wonderful. Isn't that "tiramisu"? (I've heard that "tira mi su" means "it pulls me up") Cake with coffee. Perfect idea, tipically Italian.But do you think using eggs uncooked is healthy? You know world was suffering from bird flue a couple of years ago. And I've had concerns about using eggs uncooked since this birdflue thing. It sounds good to leave these concerns at the past and go on trying yummy recipies with uncooked eggs. But I can not be sure...
