Equipment
8 x 8 inch pan
Ingredients
1cupFat-free milk
1packagesugar-free Jello vanilla pudding
¾cupPart-skim ricotta cheese
8ozcontainer Fat-free cool whip
2tbspUnsweetened cocoa powder
15Ladyfingers (biscuit or cake)(The amount needed may vary depending on the brand you use. I used Safeway/Signature Select)
6-8ozEspresso or very strong brewed coffeecooled
Instructions
In the bowl of a stand mixer, mix the pudding mix and milk until a smooth pudding forms. Add the whipped topping and ricotta cheese; mix until combined.
To assemble the cake, start with a layer of ladyfingers on the bottom of the 8 x 8 square pan. The ladyfingers I used were a bit smaller and cut in half lengthwise, so it might take a different amount than the exact product you are using.
For soft ladyfingers, use a pastry brush to brush/soak the espresso or coffee into the ladyfingers. Hard ladyfingers can be held and dunked into the espresso. Add half of the ricotta filling over the top and spread it evenly.
Repeat the process, adding the next layer of ladyfingers, soaking them, and then adding the remaining ricotta filling.
Dust the top with cocoa powder and transfer the tiramisu to the refrigerator to set for 3 hours or until it has properly firmed up — preferably overnight if you have the time.
