"I wasn't a big fan of tiramisu until I tried this recipe with its distinctive cheesecake- and coffee-flavored layers. It's one of my favorite desserts to make during the fall." —Christie Nelson Taylorville, Illinois

Made this for Christmas dinner and it turned out great! Has a strong coffee taste, but I liked it!

While the cheesecake had a good flavor, I agree with the previous posting about the texture being less than agreeable. When making something "tiramisu" next time, I'll opt for a different recipe.

looks like it came from an expensive restaurant and taste like it too. Such an elegant and great tasting dessert.

Great recipe! Made it for thanksgiving and it was a huge hit and making it for the second time for a church potluck. It's pretty rich and makes a lot so I only make it when there are a lot of people around to help eat it :) I tried adding just a little regular coffee instead of the strong cofee and both ways are good-my husband hates coffee so he likes it when I don't add the strong coffee but I like the coffee so I say tough! More for me!

We definitely enjoyed this, and will make it again. However, the portion was quite large for just one family. For a large gathering, this recipe works as is. For our family alone, we will make it half size in an 8x8 pan next time. It's very rich!

I made this yesterday for a Superbowl party. Hugely disappointed. Good flavor, VERY heavy and dense texture. Most friends at the party didn't care for the texture. Not a repeater for me.
