Heart Smart Tiramisu - 3 pts

 

1 cup low-fat ricotta cheese

8 ounces fat-free cream cheese

1/2 cup sugar

14 almond toast cookies, (such as Stella D'oro Almond Toast Coffee Treats)

1/4 cup Kahlua

1/4 cup espresso, or very strong coffee

2 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa

12 strawberries for garnish

 

 

 

 

 

In a food processor or blender, combine the ricotta, cream cheese and sugar and

process until smooth. Using a serrated knife, carefully cut almond toast cookies

in half lengthwise. Arrange 14 halves in a single layer (breaking some up to

fill in gaps if necessary) in an 11-by-7-inch baking dish.

 

In a measuring cup, stir together Kahlua and espresso and drizzle half over the

toast cookies. Spread half of the cheese mixture evenly over the cookies. Repeat

procedure with remaining cookies, Kahlua mixture and cheese mixture. Place in

the refrigerator and let set.

 

Sprinkle with cocoa upon serving. Slice and garnish each serving with a whole

strawberry.

 

Serves: 12

Preparation time: 15 minutes

Total time: 30 minutes (plus chilling time)
