Strawberry Tiramisu

Servings: 12
Ingredients:
2 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
1 container (8 ounces) frozen non-dairy whipped topping, thawed
1 cup strong coffee, at room temperature
3 tablespoons coffee-flavored liqueur (optional)
1 1/2 pint baskets strawberries (18 ounces total), stemmed and sliced
24 ladyfingers, split in half
2 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder


Instructions:
In large mixer bowl, beat cream cheese and confectioners' sugar until well blended. Gradually fold in whipped topping to blend.

In small bowl, combine coffee and liqueur, if desired. Line an 8 x 8-inch glass baking dish with enough ladyfinger halves to cover bottom of dish; place rounded sides down. If necessary, cut ladyfingers to fit dish. Spoon 1/3-cup coffee mixture evenly over ladyfingers. Top with one-third of the cheese mixture (about one cup) and spread evenly. Layer one-third of the strawberries (1 rounded cup) over cheese. Repeat layers two more times, ending with cheese and reserving remaining strawberries. Cover and refrigerate tiramisu and reserved strawberries at least 1 hour or up to 24 hours.

To serve, remove cover; sift cocoa powder over top. Arrange reserved strawberries over cocoa. Serve immediately.

Makes 12 servings.
