i just wanted to add my comments, you shouldnt post something on here if you havent tried the recipe regardless of how you think it sounds it brings down the rating of other peoples recipes that might actually be quite good and scare others away from trying it. so try before you give a rating!

I have made this before and this recipe is absolutely incredible. I would recommend using the marscapone cheese if you can find it for the taste and texture. Remember not to soak the sponge cake too long in the liquid or you have a mess. Just a quick in and out dip.

This did not taste like Olive Garden's tiramisu. The cream cheese is too heavy and the coffee flavor isn't the same as theirs. It wasn't horrible, but it wasn't what I was looking for. I won't make it again.

I adore Olive Garden's Tiramisu, and was thrilled when I found this recipe! I would strongly advise people making this to use mascarpone and not cream cheese. I've had tiramisu made with cream cheese and it's way too heavy and the taste of cream cheese is much stronger. I made this according to the recipe with one exception. I only mixed in about an ounce and a half of brandy. Three ounces seemed way too much to me. I didn't want it to completely overpower the coffee, and even with just an ounce and a half, it was very strong. Olive Garden must mix something else in with the mascarpone cheese, because it's very light. This is more of a cannoli cream texture, but the taste was good. Not quite like Olive Garden, but still good. Next time I might try rum instead of brandy and see if it is a little less strong. Overall this is a nice recipe and it's simple to put together.

This is NOT the Olive Garden recipe. Their tiramisu has NO alcohol in it. Which is why I love it. Also, there is no cream cheese in it.
