While cookbooks recommend ricotta cheese mixed with cream as a substitute for mascarpone, there is no comparison in either the texture or taste.

This tiramisu was delicious! The ladyfingers were soft and the mascarpone filling was creamy and flavorful. I loved the hint of chocolate and the bitterness of the coffee. I will definitely be making this again.

This tiramisu was not good. The ladyfingers were soggy and the mascarpone filling was grainy. I would not recommend this recipe.

This tiramisu was a bit too boozy for my taste, but otherwise it was very good. The ladyfingers were soft and the mascarpone filling was creamy and flavorful. I would recommend this recipe to anyone who likes their desserts on the boozier side.

This tiramisu was just okay. The ladyfingers were a bit dry and the mascarpone filling was a bit too sweet. I wouldn't make this recipe again.
