I tried this recipe and was very disappointed. Everything else we have tried from your website was excellent. I'm curious if some of the ingredients or recipe was inadvertently omitted. The cheese mixture consists only of mascarpone cheese and powdered sugar?!? Other tiramisu recipes we have tried have eggs, egg yolks, whipped heavy cream, etc. in the cheese mixture. I mean no offense, but this is our favorite restaurant dessert and we would love to be able to prepare it at home.

I used to work at Olive Garden. The desserts are frozen and bought out of one of those magazines that sells desserts to restaurants. Just buy it if you want it.
