1 pk (8 oz) Light Cream Cheese
1 1/4 c Hot water

2. Combine hot water and expresso granules. Split ladyfingers in half
lengthwise. Quickly dip 20 ladyfinger halves, cut side down, in
expresso ( which you've mixed in a small bowl). Place, dipped side
down, into the bottom of a 9" square baking dish. Dip 20 more halves
cut side down into the expresso; arrange dipped side down on top of
the first layer. Spread 2 cups of the cheese mixture over the lady-
fingers evenly; repeat procedure with remaining ladyfinger halves,
expresso, and cheese mixture.

sprinkle with cocoa.
Note: You can add fresh or frozen fruit or cinnamon sugar as a
garnish.
