Directions
Date: Fri, 15 Mar 1996 21:59:37 EST From: YQYM81A@... (MS KIMBERLY J MENDOZA) Recipe By: Cooking Light, March 1995, page 103 Combine powdered sugar and cream cheese in a bowl, and beat at high speed of a mixer until well-blended. Gently fold 1 cup whipped topping into the cheese mixture.
Combine ½ cup sugar and next 2 ingredients in the top of a double boiler; place over simmering water. Beat at high speed of a mixer until stiff peaks form. Gently stir one-fourth of egg white mixture into cheese mixture.
Gently fold in remaining egg white mixture; set aside.
Combine hot water and next 3 ingredients; stir well. Split the ladyfingers in half lengthwise. Arrange 20 ladyfinger halves, cut sides up, in the bottom of an 8-inch square baking dish. Drizzle half of the espresso mixture over ladyfinger halves. Spread half of cheese mixture over ladyfinger halves; repeat procedure with the remaining ladyfinger halves, espresso mixture, and cheese mixture. Spread remaining ½ cup whipped topping evenly over cheese mixture; sprinkle with cocoa.
Place one toothpick in each corner and in center of Tiramisu to prevent plastic wrap from sticking to whipped topping; cover with plastic wrap.
Chill 2 hours. Yield: 8 servings (serving size: 1 [4 x 2-inch] piece).
NOTES : Try freezing Tiramisu for two hours before serving so it will cut cleanly.
