1 cup	146g / 5.1oz	Nonfat cottage cheese
1 cup	237ml	Nonfat sour cream
2 tablespoons	30ml	Dark rum

40		Ladyfingers
1/2 teaspoon	2.5ml	Unsweetened cocoa

Recipe Instructions

1. Position knife blade in food processor; add first 6 ingredients. Process until smooth; set aside.

2. Combine hot water and espresso granules. Split ladyfingers in half lengthwise. Quickly dip 20 ladyfinger halves, cut side down, in espresso ( which you've mixed in a small bowl). Place, dipped side down, into the bottom of a 9" square baking dish. Dip 20 more halves cut side down into the espresso; arrange dipped side down on top of the first layer. Spread 2 cups of the cheese mixture over the lady- fingers evenly; repeat procedure with remaining ladyfinger halves, espresso, and cheese mixture.

3. Place one toothpick in each corner and one in the center of the tiramisu (to prevent plastic wrap from sticking to the cheese mixture). Cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate 3-8 hours. Remove toothpicks; sprinkle with cocoa.

Note: You can add fresh or frozen fruit or cinnamon sugar as a garnish.
