Reduced-Fat Tiramisu
From Cook's Country
Traditional tiramisù owes its superlative richness to a mixture of mascarpone cheese, whipped cream, and egg yolks. To make a healthier version with the same luscious texture, we use cottage cheese, nonfat Greek yogurt, and low-fat cream cheese (aka neufchatel) for a filling that’s creamy and thick. Vanilla extract and dark rum flavor the lightly sweetened mixture. We soak the ladyfingers—already fairly figure-friendly—in a potent mixture of espresso and more dark rum and finish the whole thing off with a dusting of bittersweet cocoa powder.
Serves 6
Be sure to use the crisp, firm ladyfingers found in the cookie or international aisle, not the fresh, cakelike ladyfingers found in the bakery department. Depending on the brand, 5 ounces is about 25 to 30 ladyfingers. You can substitute ¾ cup of strong brewed coffee for the hot water and espresso powder.
