I do not eat it frequently, though, because it&#8217;s expensive [involving Mascarpone cheese] and complicated [involving egg whites and other daunting things]. However, in the wake of a truly tasty birthday tiramisu for a coworker last week, I sought online for tiramisu recipes. Inspired by the recipe section on <a href=\"http:\/\/heavenlytiramisu.com\">Heavenly Tiramisu,<\/a> I combined several recipes to create a tiramisu-like dessert for the culinarily challenged. Best of all, it involves no raw eggs, no Mascarpone cheese and no liquor!<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Ingredients<\/p>\n<p>2 cups fat-free ricotta cheese. This is obviously your Mascarpone substitute, only lower in fat, calories and cost.<br \/>1 tsp vanilla extract. This is because your ricotta does not taste that exciting plain.<br \/>1\/4 cup granulated superfine sugar. Ditto. Also it has to be superfine, which is the right consistency to mix with the ricotta. I haven&#8217;t tried this with artificial sweeteners.<br \/>1\/2 lb angel food cake. This is your base, less expensive and finicky than ladyfingers. Same thing, different form.<br \/>1\/2 cup instant decaf coffee. This is your flavoring for your cake base. <br \/>1 tsp cocoa powder. This is what you sprinkle on top.<\/p>\n<p>Instructions<\/p>\n<p>Make coffee in a wide-mouth container. Let cool. Ignore foul stench.<br \/>Mix ricotta, vanilla extract and sugar in a bowl.<br \/>Slice the cake.<br \/>Dip one face of each slice quickly into the coffee. Coffee should soak the cake about halfway through, but leave the other side dry.<br \/>Put the slices dry side down in a casserole dish or similar till they cover the bottom of the dish.<br \/>Spread the cheesy goodness on top of the coffee-soaked cake.<br \/>Refridgerate the tiramisu for at least an hour.<br \/>Eat it!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of my favorite desserts is tiramisu.
