Tiramisu

By Stephanie Boyle

I always thought Tiramisu was difficult to make until I found this recipe. This recipe is fairly easy to make and tastes great.

Ingredients:

1 pkg (10-3/4 oz) frozen pound cake, thawed and thinly sliced, divided
1 cup double strength coffee, divided
2 pkgs (8oz each) cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sugar
2 tbsp almond flavored liqueur
2 cups thawed Cool Whip
1 tsp unsweetened cocoa

Directions:

1. Place 1/2 of the pound cake slices on the bottom of a 13x9 inch dish, drizzle with 1/2 cup of the coffee.

2. Mix cream cheese, sugar, and liqueur with an electric mixer on medium speed until blended well. Gently stir in Cool Whip.

3. Spoon 1/2 of the cream cheese mixture over pound cake in baking dish. Top with remaining pound cake, drizzle with remaining 1/2 cup of coffee. Spoon remaining cream cheese mixture over pound cake, sprinkle with cocoa.

4. Refrigerate a couple hours or overnight. Store leftover dessert in refrigerator.

Makes 12-16 servings.

Tip: If you do not have almond flavor liqueur, try substituting a 1/2 tsp of almond extract instead, also tastes great.

Prep time 15-20 minutes plus any refrigerating time.
