This was better than I expected. I wound up substancially modifying the recipe but it was fabulous anyway. I wanted the tiramisu to be edible for all my dinner guests including a pregnant woman. I cut the angel food cake into strips to mock ladyfingers then beat the cream marscapone vanilla and sugar until fluffy. I added a fourth cup of strongly brewed decaf coffee to the marscapone mixture and whipped it again. I then alternated layers of angelfood fingers the marscapone mixture and cinnamon sprinklings topping it off with the last of the marscapone mix and cinnamon. I chilled for about an hour. This was a huge hit and I will definitely make it again!
This recipe turned out yummy - almost as good as the restaurants' with a few personal adjustments. I made it with 1/2 c. decaf coffee instead of the coffee liqueur and granules (pregnant women friendly). I also made it with cream cheese instead mascarpone cheese (couldn't find mascarpone cheese anywhere!). And it turned out fabulous! Thanks for this easy and delicious recipe!!
Wonderful results. Nice and easy to prepare. I added additional whipped cream and frosted the top of the cake. Final step: just before serving I dusted a little cocoa powder over the whipped cream. I like this recipe because "no" eggs were used. Results: smooth light taste....not a heavy dessert!
i gotta say i don't cook and i'm not a baker either. i've never baked anything in my life. i don't know what made me decide to make tiramisu one day. but i'm glad i did cuz it was fabulous!!! everyone said it was like what you'd normally get from a bakery. it was that good! i did have to make changes though the biggest one being the mascarpone cheese. i couldn't find it anywhere so i substituted it with ricotta. also my family does not drink alcohol so i didn't use coffee liquer. to make up for this i used 6 teaspoons of instant coffee (instead of just 1 tsp) and it was still very good! everyone loved the coffee flavor! i used the cream mixture in between the two layers and also to cover the entire cake put cocoa powder all over the top drizzled some almond bark and used a few strawberries. if i could make this anyone can!
It tasted fine but definitely not tiramisu. i followed the recipe. try the classic tiramisu on here. it is much more complicated but much much better
The simplicity of this recipe encouraged me to try it and wow.. so rich and creamy; it made a lot too. Used 1 mascarpone cheese and 1 cream cheese. Increased (granulated) sugar to 3/4 cup. I baked and used Creamy White Layers (this site) instead of bought cake...mmm. Increased instant coffee granules instead of liqueur - delicately scrumptious. I like this eggless tiramisu very much. Thanks Suzanne.
Loved it much more than the "real thing." Easy to make; tastes light & fresh. Bake angel food cake the day before. I made it "trifle style " layering pieces of the cake cheese mixture & cocoa in a big glass bowl. Next time I will slice the cake horizontally into 3 or 4 layers ice each one thickly with the cheese mixture & sprinkle on cocoa assemble and slice vertically to serve. Thanks for this great recipe idea!
I love this recipe! So easy to make! Tastes great! I dont recommend it for kids because it has coffee and an coffee flavored liquor in it but its great for adults! So light too!
this is insanely delicious. seriously it is so good. I replace the pwdered sugar with granulated but other than that it is amazing how it is.
