When buying lady fingers for another tiramisu recipe I attempted,
there was a recipe on the package of lady fingers purchased at Albertson’s. A
brand called Lady Fingers Simply Elegant Desserts. When I went to their website
I couldn’t find the recipe. Not sure if they only have it available on the
packages. I made this for a camping trip 4 days in advance and put it in the
freezer. It made enough for 12 people and was perfect with a cup of tea and by
the fire. Also a glass of wine in the other hand.
Ingredients:
1 package (8 oz.) cream cheese; at room temperature
1/3 cup sugar
5 tablespoons Amaretto liqueur
½ teaspoon vanilla
3 cups whipped topping / Cool Whip
24 ladyfingers or 6 oz. (2 packages = 3 oz. each)
¾ cup prepared coffee (make the espresso and dunk the
cookies in it)
¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
¼ cup of chocolate covered espresso beans, finely grounded
Directions:
Beat together cream cheese and sugar in a medium sized bowl
until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
Beat in the Amaretto and vanilla. Fold in the whipped
topping into the cream cheese mixture.
Arrange half the ladyfingers in a 9x9 casserole dish and
pour in half the espresso covering all the fingers. Or you can individually soak
each one quickly or brush it on, then lay them in the dish.
Spread half the cream cheese mixture on top of the
ladyfingers until smooth and sprinkle with cocoa.
Arrange remaining soaked or brushed espresso ladyfingers on top of the
cocoa and smooth the top with leftover cream cheese mixture.
Sprinkle remaining cocoa and grounded chocolate espresso
beans to the top.
Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours, preferably
overnight, or even in the freezer for a few days if you are stretched for time.
The sooner you eat it the fresher it will be.
