"I wanted to share a super recipe with you, it's for Amaretto Tiramisu. The amaretto gives it a different taste--very yummy.
I love Tiramisu but have never been bold enough to make it (even though I have several different recipes rated from easy to complicated)"......Lynne

Ingredients:
8 ounces Neufchâtel cream cheese, at room temperature
1/3 cup granulated sugar
5 tablespoons amaretto liqueur
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

24 (7 oz. package) ladyfingers
3/4 cup strong coffee
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons sliced blanched almonds (optional)

This is a very easy Tiramisu recipe, however, I used Mascarpone cheese instead of the neufchatel cream cheese. This made it more authentic. Also, the Mascarpone is richer and smoother than cream cheese. Save the cream cheese for a fantastic cheesecake. Tiramisu MUST be made with MASCARPONE. This recipe uses cool whip(whipped topping) instead of whipped egg whites which makes it easier and creamier-I liked that!!
