Rum and Ricotta Tiramisu image

Easy and elegant dessert. Also, fairly low calorie for a dessert. For a special touch, add a tablespoon of Kahlua, Baileys Irish Cream or other coffee liqueur to the coffee.

Number Of Ingredients 7

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

Steps:

  • Beat the cheeses, rum and sugar with electric beaters until light and creamy and set aside.
