Ingredients

  • 3 packages (3 ounces each) soft ladyfingers, split
  • FILLING:
  • 1 package (8 ounces) fat-free cream cheese
  • 3 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/3 cup sugar

  • 1 carton (8 ounces) frozen reduced-fat whipped topping, thawed
  • TOPPING:
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch

Directions

  1. Line bottom and sides of an ungreased 9-in. springform pan with ladyfinger halves; reserve remaining ladyfingers for layering.
