Ingredients:
1 package (8 ounces) mascarpone cheese (Check label for allergens!)
1 1/4 cups part-skim ricotta cheese (Check label for allergens!)
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup Amaretto DiSaronno or other almond-flavored liqueur (Check label for allergens!)
1 package (4 ounces) gluten-free ladyfingers (Check label for allergens!)
1 cup strong coffee, cooled
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
Combine the mascarpone, ricotta, sugar and 1/4 cup of the amaretto in a food processor or blender and blend on high speed several minutes, until the mixture is completely smooth. Set aside.
Line an 8-inch springform pan with plastic wrap (BeFreeForMe.com Tip: Use Glad Press & Seal - if available!) so liquid will not leak out. Place a layer of ladyfingers, fitting them tightly, in the bottom of the pan, using up 1/2 of the package.
Combine the coffee and remaining 1/4 cup amaretto. Pour half of the liquid evenly over the layer of ladyfingers. Cover with half of the cheese mixture. Use the remaining ladyfingers to cover the cheese in a tight layer. Pour the remaining liquid over the ladyfingers and cover with the remaining cheese.
Sift the cocoa powder to cover the tiramisu completely. Refrigerate for 6 to 7 hours or overnight before serving (BeFreeForMe.com Tip: The longer you refrigerate the BETTER!). To serve, release and remove the sides of the springform pan, being careful not to damage the tiramisu. Cut into 12 pie-shaped wedges.
Makes 12 servings.
