For the most part I loved this recipe and served it for dessert at a girls' dinner party where we all brought healthy-ish dishes. We all agreed that the Kahlua was too much though. So I made it again and used a lot less Kahlua and added about 1-2 cups of coffee and loved it. I agree that the ladyfingers need to soak a lot longer, so the second time I waited a while before serving and it was great. A much healthier, lighter version of tiramisu, but still very satisfying and delicious.11/23/09

I made this recipe but doctored it a bit based on the other reviews. I had a hard time splitting the cookies, soaking the cookies, and spreading the cheese mixture--the recipe didn't seem to have enough of any ingredients (except the ladyfingers)--so here's what I did: mixed 1/2 cup milk with the 1/2 cup Kahlua (to get more moisture without changing the flavor) and added 1/2 tub (4 oz, I guess?) of fat-free Cool Whip to the cheese mixture to help it spread more easily. It turned out creamy and delicious. Yum!11/10/09
