I really loved the flavor of this but it came out very runny. I refrigerated it overnight, but it was still runny. Any tips on how to get it a little thicker? - 04 Dec 2008 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
I made this for a 4th of July party and it was a smash!! Everyone who tasted it couldn't believe that I could make it. I like that you don't have to bake anything. I have tried all kinds of tiramisu cake at fine resturants and even my familys own and this is wonderful. I don't like the pound cake, just layers of ladyfingers are the best. - 13 Jul 2001 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
Fabulous!!! It wasn't too hard to make either. The longer you let it sit, the less it will fall apart when you serve it. I definitely recommend letting it sit overnight, otherwise it falls apart when you serve it (which isn't so bad - it still tastes great!) This is a wonderful recipe. - 06 Dec 2005 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
