Answer 1

Rachel Ray's Quick Tiramisu

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rachel Ray is the host of “Food TV’s "30-Minute Meals." She created this easy Tiramisu that takes about 10 minutes to make, and which contains no eggs (raw or cooked). You’ll need 4 martini glasses to present it the way she suggests, but goblets will do just fine. It makes 4 servings.

Ingredients

LADY FINGERS, 1 package
STRONG BLACK COFFEE or ESPRESSO, 1/2 cup
COFFEE FLAVOR LIQUEUR, 2 ounces (shots)
MASCARPONE CHEESE, 2 cups
POWDERED CONFECTIONERS' SUGAR, 1/2 cup
COCOA POWDER, 1/4 cup
GROUND CINNAMON, 1/4 tsp
Directions

Open the ladyfingers and separate them.
Paint the ladyfingers with coffee combined with the coffee liqueur using a pastry brush.
Line 4 martini glasses with a single layer of ladyfingers, letting the cakes overlap a bit at the stem.
Press the cakes down a bit to fit the lines of the glass.
Beat cheese and sugar together 2 or 3 minutes.
Spoon sweetened mascarpone into glasses.
Top glasses off with a cap of the ladyfingers.
Use any remaining mascarpone to dot the ladyfinger tops and sprinkle each glass with cocoa powder combined with a touch of cinnamon.

Answer 2

Easy Tiramisu

1 sponge cake (10-12 inch), about 3-inch tall
3 oz. strong black coffee or instant espresso
3 oz. Meyer’s rum or Kahlua
1 1/2 lbs. cream cheese, room temperature
1 1/2 C. superfine/powdered sugar
1 tub whipped topping
Unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting
Shaved chocolate, optional

Cut across middle of sponge cake forming two layers, each about 1 1/2 inches high. Blend coffee and rum/Kahlua. Sprinkle enough of mixture over bottom half of cake to flavor it strongly. Don’t moisten cake too much or it may collapse on serving.

Beat room-temperature cheese and 1 cup sugar until sugar is completely dissolved and cheese is light and spreadable. Test for sweetness during beating, adding more sugar if needed.

Spread cut surface of bottom layer with half of the cheese mixture. Replace second layer and top this with remaining cheese mixture. Top with Cool Whip. Sprinkle top liberally with sifted cocoa and chocolate shavings.

Refrigerate cake for at least 2 hours before cutting and serving.

WOW!!! I typed a lot!

Answer 4

If you think that the milano cookies will absorb most of the coffee, it should be okay. The lady fingers act as a sponge for the coffee in the recipe...I've used sponge cake before, as well as lady fingers/ The milanos may be too hard/crispie and not absorptive of the coffee enough, though.
