Sandra Lee - Kahlua Tiramisu

Cristin's Note:

Saw this on Semi-Homemade Cooking with Sandra Lee on Food Network. Made it for my husband when he came back from working out of town for a month and it was fabulous. I have never had Tiramisu but my Mom had eaten it before and she says it tastes just as good as the real stuff! A really quick and elegant dessert.

Excellent! Instead of making individual dishes, I made one casserole dish! It was awesome! I added a little bit more Kaluha.

I actually saw this on foodtv.com last week, and made it mast night. It was amazing! It made a great presentation by inverting on a flat plate. I added an extra 1/2 soaked lady finger to the center of the cream mix before setting, to add an extra last bite. RoOwl
