| Comments: "I wanted to share a super recipe with you, it's for Amaretto Tiramisu. The amaretto gives it a different taste--very yummy. I love Tiramisu but have never been bold enough to make it (even though I have several different recipes rated from easy to complicated)"......Lynne |

This is a very easy Tiramisu recipe, however, I used Mascarpone cheese instead of the neufchatel cream cheese. This made it more authentic. Also, the Mascarpone is richer and smoother than cream cheese. Save the cream cheese for a fantastic cheesecake. Tiramisu MUST be made with MASCARPONE. This recipe uses cool whip(whipped topping) instead of whipped egg whites which makes it easier and creamier-I liked that!!
