Rum And Ricotta Tiramisu - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 cup low-fat ricotta cheese
3/4 cup light cream cheese
1 tablespoon rum or 1 tablespoon cognac
1/4 cup superfine sugar
1 1/2 cups very strong espresso or 1 1/2 cups good quality coffee, cooled
16 ladyfingers
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa, for dusting

Preparation

Beat the cheeses, rum and sugar with electric beaters until light and creamy and set aside.
Pour the coffee into a large shallow dish.
Quickly dip 1 side of half the ladyfingers into the coffee and lay closely together with the dipped side down over the base of a large flat-based serving dish or large cafe au lait cups.
Spread half of the cheese mixture evenly over the ladyfingers.
Dust with half the cocoa then repeat layers with coffee-dipped biscuits and cheese.
Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
Dust with remaining cocoa just before serving.
