Make-Ahead Tiramisu
This variation of the popular Italian dessert is so easy to assemble. It's convenient, too, since you can make it the day before your dinner party or potluck. —Linda Finn, Louisville, Mississippi

hardest part is waiting 8 hours. :-)
Only marscapone cheese not cream cheese, works in a tiramisu recipe! It's richer and creamer, more expensive, but worth it! I use dark rum
This was really good . Next time I make it I will add some of the coffee liqueur to the filling also. If you have a Krogers or a Ralph's the ladyfingers are usually over by the fresh fruits
Using what I had on hand, I made this with a lemon cake mix in place of ladyfingers. Very good. May thin cream cheese with a bit of yoghurt next time.
Delicious and easy!
I really wanted to like this recipe as I love Tiramisu - but this tasted way too much like sour cream and strong coffee. Maybe with half the sour cream it might have been better - but I'm sorry to say we did not enjoy this particular version.
This is pretty darn close to the tiramisu I've been making for years. It's a great recipe. I wonder, could vanilla wafer cookies be substituted for ladyfingers if you were in a pinch? I make ladyfingers at home (no stores in my area carry these cookies) when I have the time. I would make tiramisu more often if I didn't have to bake the ladyfingers first.
I did not put the coffee liqueur in mine.
This was the most delicious tiramisu every was. I will make it over and over. My husband loved it.
I was wondering if you can omit the liquer and it would still taste as good. I have not tried this recipe as I don't use or drink alcohol
