I don't know. It could be a variety of things. Could be the whipped cream wasn't whipped enough and wasn't stiff enough to hold its form (or overwhipped and broke down when mixed into the cheese and egg mix), could be the cheese you used was too watery from the manufacturer, could be the egg yolks weren't cooked enough or it could be it didn't set long enough to chill all the way through. Any number of things could've happened. Or it could be nothing is wrong. This is meant to be soft (think custard, meringue or cream pie instead of cheesecake).
I've never worked with lady fingers so I didn't know there are eggs in them. I wanted to make this for my family but my mom has a strange disliking to egg yolks.
It depends. If it's because you're worried about salmonella, use pasteurized eggs. If it's because you don't want to use them or are allergic, they say you can use cream but I wouldn't chance it. The yolks help to thicken the mixture so adding more liquid to something that now doesn't have anything to thicken, it'd likely just be soup. Besides, lady fingers themselves have eggs so it's a mute point.
+Hello!Nurd That's how tiramisu is traditionally made and it works fine. A lot of people have issues with eating raw eggs so I don't use them in my recipe and to be honest, I prefer the whipped cream over egg whites as it makes a nicer and richer finished texture and taste. But that's just me. If you read the comments, you'll find the traditionalists want my head on a stick for just the thought of not using egg whites but to each their own. Try it both ways and see which you prefer. :-)

Hi, faustina vu - To be honest, tiramisu may be tricky for you to make. The
ingredients you want substitutions for are critical to the dessert.
However, we'll do our best to suggest alternatives:
1 - Mascarpone - Blend 16 ounces of full fat cream cheese (be sure it's at
room temperature) with 1/2 cup heavy cream and 4 tablespoons of full fat
sour cream.
2 - Rum - Substitute rum extract (look for an alcohol-free version if you
need this) and purchase real rum extract, not the imitation kind, for the
truest flavor. Of leave out the rum extract and simple use the coffee.
3 - Ladyfingers - Cut a sponge cake into strips and bake the strips for 10
minutes (350 degrees F/185 degrees C) to crisp the edges, or let the strips
sit out a few hours to dry them out.
Hope this helps.
That's odd, vivi cutes. Did the mascarpone curdle, or was it the
egg/milk/sugar mixture? Eggs will curdle in milk if they get too hot or
overcook. The mascarpone shouldn't curdle because it's chilled (or at room
temperature) when it's stirred into the chilled egg/milk/sugar mixture.
It's not heated. Was the mascarpone fresh when you bought it? (Use your
nose to check.) Did you stir it in all at once, or in small amounts? Small
amounts will work best--1 cup or so at a time--and use a whisk to mix the
mascarpone into the egg/milk mixture. This will be a big help to blend it
smoothly.

You made the custard with raw eggs shouldn't you cook the eggs after you do
the custard or else it can cause having salmonella but other than that

Baklava is a dessert that both the Greeks and Turks argue over. It's origins have not ever really been finalized, so it's not really known who was the original creator of this dessert. Turks will say Turkish, and Greeks will say it's Greek. None the less, each country has their own version of the dessert, so stfu!!
+KING SHLOMO If you have fresh eggs from a good source, you shouldn't have to worry about Salmonella. I have consumed raw eggs all my life and never gotten Salmonella... but if it makes you feel safer, there are methods to temper the eggs to kill off any microbes that could be on it.
