SOURCE: Cooking Light YEAR: 2001 ISSUE: April PAGE: 228

INGREDIENTS FOR 12 SERVINGS:
1/2 cup ground coffee beans
1-3/4 cups cold water
1/4 cup Kahlua (coffee-flavored liqueur), divided
1/2 cup (3-1/2 ounces) mascarpone cheese
1 (8-ounce) block fat-free cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
24 ladyfingers (2 [3-ounce] packages)
2 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa, divided

INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Assemble drip coffeemaker according to manufacturer's directions.
Place ground coffee in coffee filter or filter basket. Add cold water
to coffeemaker; brew to make 1-1/2 cups. Combine brewed coffee and 2
tablespoons Kahlua in a shallow dish; cool.

2. Combine cheeses in a large bowl. Beat with a mixer at high speed
until smooth. Add 2 tablespoons Kahlua and sugars; beat until
well-blended.

3. Split ladyfingers in half lengthwise.

4. Quickly dip 24 ladyfinger halves, flat sides down, into coffee
mixture. Place halves, dipped sides down, in the bottom of an 8-inch
square baking dish (halves will be slightly overlapping). Spread half
of cheese mixture over ladyfingers; sprinkle with 1 teaspoon cocoa.
Repeat procedure with remaining ladyfinger halves, coffee mixture,
cheese mixture, and 1 teaspoon cocoa.

5. Place 1 toothpick in each corner of dish and 1 in the center of
tiramisu (to prevent the plastic wrap from sticking to cheese
mixture); cover with plastic wrap. Chill for 2 hours. Yield: 12
servings.

Can you use instant coffee for this dessert? I don't drink coffee and therefore do not have a coffee maker. But, I love Tiramisu.

annetoine;

I have other tiramisu recipes that use instant and that works too. I think it depends on how much you love coffee :D

And have you tried the Tiramisu Anacapri? It's not as light as the white russian but in my opinion it is SOOOOOOOOOO much better!!!

My hubby would have it everyday if he could ;)

I made this last night.

It was so GOOD! It was really rich. I've never made any tiramisu recipes simply because I never had Kahlua on hand. I broke down and bought some and was glad I did!

It was also very easy. I made salmon for dinner, and while it was cooking, I prepared the tiramisu. I did soak some of the lady fingers a bit long, so I tossed 'em cause they got soggy.

Overall, a good recipe - especially for company!
