It's a super quick RECIPE for a non-alcoholic Tiramisu dessert. So, for any of you in AA, this is ideal. Rather than having to use fresh, spongy ladyfingers, this one uses ladyfinger cookies that I got at a neighborhood Italian restaurant - though they are crisp, they're STILL light and not too sweet!
Make one espresso. You can also use instant coffee but make it strong. I made mine with my Tassimo machine.
Sweeten the coffee with sugar or Splenda.
Slightly sweeten (1/2 tsp) mascarpone cheese with Splenda & mix it. If you can't get mascarpone, you can opt for similar cream cheeses like ricotta. NOTE - it spreads MUCH better if you let it reach near-room-temperature first.
Put 1 1/2 tablespoon of espresso on the ladyfingers - they should be moistened but not drenched.
Dollop 1 to 2 tablespoons of the cheese on top of the ladyfingers depending on your taste. Spread it evenly over the cookies with a little pressure to push it in.
Sprinkle cocoa powder on top (about 1/2 teaspoon - here I used a tea strainer to do it evenly).
Chill for at least 15 minutes covered.
Shave or break small chocolate pieces for the top and enjoy!

ReplyDeleteYou've got me contemplating putting down this glass of wine & running to the store to get tiramisu ingredients, seriously Jen! That's no easy feat to get me to put down my glass of wine. Thx for sharing!
Thanks for the recipe! I love that it's easily made for 2 instead of making a huge dish that just me and bf would have to share.
ReplyDeleteummmm that looks delish! My hubby would love it!! i must try xoox
ReplyDeleteHey... another great idea if you can't use mascarpone cheese is to use jello vanilla pudding. It's delicious and you'll never know the difference. It chills nicely as well. It's a trick we Italian-Americans started using because at one point people were scared of using mascarpone cheese because of the bacteria it contained, so this was the less risky alternative. Try it. You'll love it.
ReplyDeleteLAURA: WOW, thanks for the info. I had no idea you could use vanilla pudding. Im going to ask my husband to make it that way next time - thanks!
ReplyDeleteyum, that looks sooo tasty!
ReplyDeleteI prepared them last weekend... They're so tasty and easy-to-do (is that correct?)
ReplyDeleteThank yo so much for the recipe. I'm in love with your blog ;)
