This is a delicious dessert!
Ingredients
2 8oz packages of cream cheese
3 TBSP milk
2/3 cup + 1 TBSP powdered sugar
3 TBSP + 1/4 cup of coffee liqeur (Kahlua, Tia Maria, Starbucks, etc)
1 tsp + 1/2 tsp + 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
2 oz semi sweet chocolate, shaved, save some for garnish
1 cup + 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
2 packages (3 oz each) Ladyfingers**
1 TBSP Hot water
2 tsp instant coffee granules
I also add a healthy dash of Frangelico or Amaretto.
**Ladyfingers can be hard to find unless you have a good bakery near you. You can substitute sponge cake; just cut into finger sized pieces.
Directions
1. In large mixer bowl, beat cream cheese and milk until blended and fluffy.
2. Blend in 2/3-cup confectioners' sugar, 3 tablespoons coffee liqueur and 1 teaspoon vanilla.
3. Add grated chocolate.
4. In small mixer bowl, whip 1 cup cream until stiff peaks form.
5. Line bottom and side of 2-1/2 to 3-quart bowl or souffle dish with ladyfinger halves, split sides up.
6. Brush with about 2 tablespoons Espresso Sauce (directions follow).
7. Spoon one-third cheese mixture into ladyfinger-lined bowl.
8. Repeat ladyfingers, Espresso Sauce and cheese mixture two more times.
9. Garnish with Sweetened Whipped Cream (directions follow) and additional grated chocolate.
10. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving.
