Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup brewed coffee, cooled
- 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Gluten-free ladyfinger cookies (or sponge cake)
- Unsweetened cocoa powder (for dusting)
Instructions
- Mix the Cream Cheese Mixture:
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract.
- Use a hand mixer or a spatula to mix until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Prepare the Coffee Dip:
- Brew a cup of your favorite coffee and allow it to cool.
- Once cooled, pour it into a shallow dish for easy dipping.
- Layer the Cookies:
- Quickly dip each gluten-free ladyfinger cookie into the cooled coffee. Ensure they are soaked but not too soggy.
- Arrange the soaked cookies in a single layer at the bottom of your chosen dish.
- Add the Cream Cheese Mixture:
- Spread half of the cream cheese mixture evenly over the layer of cookies.
- Repeat the Layers:
- Add another layer of coffee-dipped cookies on top of the cream cheese mixture.
- Spread the remaining cream cheese mixture over the second layer of cookies.
- Dust with Cocoa Powder:
- Generously dust the top of the tiramisu with unsweetened cocoa powder for a rich finish.
- Refrigerate:
- Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours. This chill time allows the flavors to meld and results in a firmer texture.
