Not much of a discount, but any price off these is a bargain for the tiramisu. The ingredients, taste and quality are amazing for the price.

I've probably tried 5-10 varieties over the years including authentic fresh (2day settling) calabrian, plus made 3 or 4 recipe versions myself in the past, but this is definitely up there on the list.

    "Woolies $9, Yalla $17". Isn't it ridiculous how much money these company try to make? Thanks OP!

    • Embaloo on 21/12/2022 - 20:14

      Yeah agreed. When you try to make it yourself, its tempting to settle for the price as it is quite a process, but can't justify spending that big!

      • [Deactivated] on 21/12/2022 - 20:25

        And it is even more delicious! :)

      Yalla was disgusting. I can't remember if it was a tiramisu or something else but they use cream cheese or some other odd cheeses in there.

      • juki on 21/12/2022 - 21:33

        i agree with you both, i think aldi is the nicest and yalla was filthy (despite me eating just about anything)

      I found it to be terrible. Unless they've changed in the last 8 years?

        No, still terrible. We tried recently based on positive reviews.

        • juki on 21/12/2022 - 21:34

          a bit harsh, the biscuit is just a bit too wet but in something store bought that is pretty unavoidable

        Different tastes

        • Some Human on 21/12/2022 - 23:26

          I must be too used to home made. I felt the aldi one wasn't creamy enough.

  • [Deactivated] on 21/12/2022 - 20:16

    I’ve found the $9 coles one to have a thicker cream and better brandy substitute, all in all lending itself to a much richer and deeper taste.
    Of course the Aldi ones better value but the Coles one does taste better for sure

    • Embaloo on 22/12/2022 - 06:04

      Thanks, need to try!

    try the costco one and you will love it

    • colt75 on 21/12/2022 - 22:35

      i thought the costco one was terrible. the "lady finger" part was barely soaked in any cofffee.

    Not such a thing as Calabrian tiramisu.
    Please explain.
    Having said that this thing isn’t bad for the price, at all. Unhealthy AF but

    • Embaloo on 21/12/2022 - 22:02

      Generations passed down italian recipe, from calabria, Italy.

      • bondiben on 21/12/2022 - 22:19

        It was only first invented in the 60s!

        • Embaloo on 22/12/2022 - 06:16

          That's 60 years ago. Their recipe is from their local area. Its certainly a lot thicker than this version, but similar sweetness.

      • Hasbulla on 22/12/2022 - 05:57

        Still no substantiation
        Tiramisu is from Veneto
        Never ever heard of a tiramisu calabrese
        Traditions on recipes in Italy are pretty rigorous
        You do not change recipes full stop even more so in pastry bakery

        • Embaloo on 22/12/2022 - 07:20

          So i'd have to make some veneto-ian friends for the real thing??

  • TEER3X on 21/12/2022 - 20:41

    used to be my favourite dessert, looking forward to trying some

        I’ve heard that the checkout lines at Aldi can be quite long, but couldn’t you wait until you got home?!

          Good Different :)

  • ozmarketersdream on 21/12/2022 - 21:09

    I'm quite a fan of this tiramisu but maybe it's my peasant tastebuds hehe

      I have Italian relatives who thought this was home made. So no, your tastebuds are correct.

  • bargaino on 21/12/2022 - 21:10

    Coles frozen $5 (haven't tried, has anyone else?)

    Not bad. I'd prefer the Coles frozen to the ALDI "thawed for your convenience".
    The ALDI tiramisu I've had is the same, made in Italy.
    But I don't recognise the "Food Envy" brand. Is this a fresh Australian version, or the thawed italian product that I've seen in ALDI before?

    • Cameltoe on 21/12/2022 - 21:14

      It's imported from Italy. Food envy must be the importer.

      • bargaino on 21/12/2022 - 21:30

        Still the same product as Coles then. I'd rather buy frozen, and have it handy when needed than make a trip to ALDI for the thawed version.
        Its like the thawed seafood in Colesworth. But sometimes you can persuade the deli staff there to sell you the frozen product (when on special of course), so it does not need to be used within 3 days.
        All that said, Coles or ALDI, I do very much enjoy the imported Italian tiramisu.

        • [Deactivated] on 21/12/2022 - 22:55

          Coles tastes different, might even be real mascarpone
          Thicker cream and more prominent coffee and wine/brandy taste

  • leroy on 21/12/2022 - 21:39

    Any of them gluten-free? Hate to be asking but my mum just got ‘diagnosed’ and it’s her favourite dessert

      Can I assume from your use of quotes that this was not a proper medical diagnosis?
      Tiramisu has wheat flour as a vital ingredient.

    • Embaloo on 21/12/2022 - 22:02

      Neither of them are.

    • marcozmitch on 23/01/2023 - 09:49

      Can not imagine how awful a gluten free version would be.

  • Top G on 21/12/2022 - 22:15

    How does this compare to legendary Coles $5 Tiramisu

    • tharlow on 21/12/2022 - 22:38

      According to legend, the Coles marketing team are good at propagating fake legends. Depending on which legends you subscribe to, your preferences will be manipulated in various ways. Be your authentic self, and let OzBargain make your mind up for you

    I've tried this, it's pretty terrible. Sure, great value, but not a good tiramisu

    • tharlow on 21/12/2022 - 22:47

      Your value proposition appears to be a sellout

  • tunzafun001 on 21/12/2022 - 23:41

    So, umm.. Choc truffle..any good?

    • BadGiraffe on 22/12/2022 - 03:20

      Personal preference, but I prefer this. The choc truffle is still very good. You can't go wrong for the price. Just be prepared to eat the entire thing in one sitting.

    • Last Seen on 22/12/2022 - 08:02

      I'm not a fan of the choc truffle but the tiramisu is excellent

    • MeesusEff on 22/12/2022 - 12:23

      I like both but prefer tiramisu. You can taste the alcohol in the choc truffle one
