This light version of the popular Italian dessert is moist and creamy, and cuts so well into pretty layered squares. You'll love the blend of coffee, Kahlua and cream cheese flavors. —Mary Walters, Westerville, Ohio

Prep: 25 min. Cook: 10 min. + chilling

Yield: 12 Servings

Ingredients

1 package (8 ounces) reduced-fat cream cheese
2/3 cup confectioners' sugar, divided
1-1/2 cups reduced-fat whipped topping, divided
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar
3 egg whites
1/4 cup water
2 packages (3 ounces each) ladyfingers, split
1/2 cup boiling water
2 tablespoons coffee liqueur
1 tablespoon instant coffee granules
1/2 teaspoon baking cocoa

Directions

In a small bowl, beat cream cheese and confectioners' sugar until smooth. Fold in 1 cup whipped topping; set aside.
Combine 1/2 cup sugar, egg whites and water in a small heavy saucepan over low heat. With a hand mixer, beat on low speed for 1 minute. Continue beating on low over low heat until mixture reaches 160°, about 8-10 minutes. Pour into a large bowl. Beat on high until stiff peaks form, about 7 minutes. Fold into cream cheese mixture.
Arrange half of ladyfingers in an ungreased 11-in. x 7-in. dish. Combine the boiling water, coffee liqueur, coffee granules and remaining sugar; brush half of mixture over ladyfingers. Top with half of cream cheese mixture. Repeat layers. Spread remaining whipped topping over the top; sprinkle with cocoa. Refrigerate for 2 hours before serving. Yield: 12 servings.

Everyone went crazy for this. My brother in-law had seconds which has never happened before.

This recipe truly is sensational! My whole family thought it was the best tiramisu recipe that I've made. I'm making a double batch for the Italian themed party we're having at work. I'm sure it will be the hit of the party.

I can't say mine was as pretty as the picture - but definitely top notch.

This was delicious! My whole family loved it. And I would much rather eat this version with 7 grams of fat a slice instead of the 34 grams compared to the original. I even used the TOH recipe for the ladyfingers because I couldn't find any in the store. I highley recommend this recipe.
