Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/2 c Sugar
1 c Nonfat cottage cheese
1 c Nonfat sour cream
2 tb Dark rum
1 Light Cream Cheese -- (8 oz)
1 1/4 c Hot water
1 tb + 1/2 ts instant expresso coffee granules
40 Ladyfingers
1/2 t Unsweetened cocoa

1. Position knife blade in food processor; add first 6 ingredients. Process
until smooth; set aside. 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. 3. Place one toothpick in each corner and one in the center of the
tiramisu (to prevent plastic wrap from sticking to the cheese mixture)
Cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate 3-8 hours. Remove toothpicks; sprinkle
with cocoa. Note: You can add fresh or frozen fruit or cinnamon sugar as a
garnish.
