Chocolate-Raspberry Tiramisu

To make this nontraditional, summery tiramisu even fancier, use a mixture of red, gold, and black raspberries.

Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

• 1/4  cup  powdered sugar
• 1/4  cup  (2 ounces) mascarpone cheese, softened
• 1/4  cup  raspberry-flavored liqueur, divided
• 1  (8-ounce) block fat-free cream cheese, softened
• 12  cake-style ladyfingers, split
• 1 1/2  tablespoons  unsweetened cocoa
• 2  cups  fresh raspberries
• Mint sprigs (optional)

Preparation

Place powdered sugar, mascarpone cheese, 1 1/2 tablespoons liqueur, and cream cheese in a large bowl; beat with a mixer at high speed until well blended.

Brush cut sides of ladyfingers with 2 1/2 tablespoons of liqueur. Spread about 1 1/2 tablespoons mascarpone mixture over bottom half of each ladyfinger; cover with tops.

Arrange 3 filled ladyfingers spoke-like on each of 4 dessert plates. Sprinkle evenly with cocoa. Arrange 1/2 cup raspberries over each serving. Garnish with mint sprigs, if desired.
