My daughter and her friends made this for an international food day at high school. They picked it from the other recipes because it looked easy, but I think it missed the mark on flavor--straying too far from what a "real tiramisu" tastes like. They were excited about making it and my daughter wanted me to make one for us to eat at home. The quantity of syrup was sufficient, but unless you poke your holes big and deep it won't soak down into the cake. As other reviewers indicated, 16 oz of cream cheese must be wrong and would have been way too much topping regardless. I used 8 ounces and halved the other topping ingredients. The flavor of the cream cheese and the yogurt was barely sweet and the whole effect was disappointing.

I LOVE real Tiramisu!This was pretty good for a quick fix. However, I would double the coffee/Kahlua mixture next time. And I think the amount of cream cheese is wrong-they don't come in 16oz. packages. So I used two 8oz. packages instead and it made WAY too much. I also used 3/4C. strong coffee instead of the instant for a deepened flavor (good idea!), and replaced the yogurt with heavy cream.
I would make it again with these changes.

When we used whipping cream in place of the yogurt, this dessert is fabulous!
