Outstanding

These parfaitlike desserts can be assembled the day before the party and need no last-minute garnishes.

Yield: 9 servings (serving size: 1 trifle)

Ingredients

  • 1  cup  cold strong brewed coffee
  • 3  tablespoons  Marsala wine
  • 1  (8-ounce) block 1/3-less-fat cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2  cup  (4 ounces) block-style fat-free cream cheese, softened
  • 3/4  cup  sugar
  • 30  cakelike ladyfingers (2 1/2 [3-ounce] packages)
  • 1  teaspoon  unsweetened cocoa

Preparation

Combine coffee and wine; set aside.

Place cheeses in a medium bowl; beat with a mixer at medium speed until smooth. Gradually add sugar, beating until well blended.

Cut each ladyfinger crosswise into 3 pieces. Arrange 5 ladyfinger pieces into each of 9 wineglasses or small bowls; drizzle each serving with about 1 tablespoon coffee mixture. Spoon about 1 1/2 tablespoons cheese mixture into each glass. Repeat layers once; sprinkle evenly with cocoa. Cover and chill at least 1 hour.

These trifles are delicious and surprisingly tiramisu-like! I recommend using espresso instead of coffee and topping them with Cool Whip. I also successfully substituted non-dairy soy sour cream (Tofuti brand is the best) for the real thing. A wonderful and easy dessert!08/24/05
