Tiramisú
Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 3 Tbsp instant espresso powder such as Café Bustelo
- 3 Tbsp boiling water
- 1 1/2 cups cold water
- 8 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 packages 3 ounces each of soft ladyfingers usually found in the bakery section
- 1 ounce bittersweet chocolate such as Perugina or Godiva
- unsweetened cocoa powder
Instructions
- Place the coffee and boiling water in a heat-proof bowl. Stir to combine then add cold water. Set the bowl aside.
- Using your electric mixer, beat the cream cheese, heavy cream, and sugar until fluffy.
- In a 1 1/2 to 2-quart glass bowl (7 or 8-inch diameter), spread 2 tablespoons of the cheese mixture on the bottom.
- Dip 1/3 of the ladyfingers (one at a time and very quickly) in the espresso mixture and place them single file on top of the cheese.
- Then place 1/3 of the remaining cheese mixture on top of the ladyfingers and smooth.
- Using a vegetable peeler, shave chocolate on top the cheese.
- Repeat each layer two more times, finishing with cheese mixture and shaved chocolate.
- When you serve the tiramisú, dust it with the unsweetened cocoa powder.
