President's Choice Tiramisu

CountryLady's Note:

The "President's Choice" is a high end store brand in Canada that also publishes recipes. I'd rather have this dessert than chocolate....and I LOVE chocolate. Serve this at your next dinner party - you won't be disappointed!!!

THIS WAS EXCELLENT!!! I made it for Thanksgiving and everyone loved it!! I will definately make again and again! I did dip some lady fingers a tad bit to long, so if anyone is making this, make sure you dip it really really fast! They get mushy!

WOW! This got rave reviews at a dinner party we served it at. I would make it daily if I could. Wonderful and impressive.

I made this about 6 months ago and forgot to review it. I had eaten Tiramisu for the first time at a little Greek/Italian restaurant and loved it, so I decided to make it myself. Honestly, I didn't care for this recipe much at all. I am thinking that the Tiramisu that I had at the restaurant wasn't "authentic" Tiramisu, because this recipe proved an entirely different taste and texture than the other one I had. However, I had made this for a dinner party and our guests LOVED it. Also, I'm sure that this is a very good authentic Tiramisu since I tried another one at an Italian restaurant since I made this one and it tasted very similar to this one. Hence the four star review. However, I'm going to look for a less authentic one that suits my palate a little more. :)
