I doubled the coffee and completely covered the cookies. Next time i think I will chop up the cookies in the food proccessor so I can get a better layer. The recipe is super quick to make. Not the best, but is still good.

This was SO easy and tasted wonderful. I will defintely make this again. I used "whipped" cream cheese for a lighter texture.

I've made traditional tiramisu with mascarpone and ladyfingers, and this just doesn't live up to the real thing. My husband called it "substandard" and I thought it was just horrible. I wanted to give it one star, but since my hubby was still able to eat it, I'm giving it two stars. Do yourself a favor and make it the traditional way.

When I made this recipe, I made it in a 9 x 13 pan and used a little more vanilla wafers. I doubled the rest of the ingredients. It is better the longer it stays in your refrigerator, because the wafers get softer. I have had this in many restaurants at very expensive prices, and this recipe stands up to the best I have eaten.

Someone didn't actually ruin a dessert with Splenda. Why have dessert if you aren't going to do it right. Just eat in moderation. If you are diabetic, I know you can plan for dessert. That is why people keep getting fatter, they think substitutes in the answer for over eating. I am going to try, but use expresso and sugar and I think it will be great. I never thought of using vanilla wafers rather than ladyfingers, but they would have the correct texture and certainly easier to keep on hand.

I have made this recipe several times, and everyone loves it. Instead of using coffee, I use French Vanilla Cappachino. It is also a very quick dessert to make.

This is yummy and so easy to fix! I used a really heaping tablespoon of coffee and added a tablespoon of coffee liqueur. I substituted Splenda™ for the confectioners sugar. The second time I made it, guests were coming to dinner, and I divided the mixture and Nillas among some miniature dessert bowls. Everyone raved about it!
