Cherry Tiramisu
1 cup ricotta cheese
1 cup confectioners sugar
1/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup coffee liqueur
30 2-in. shortbread cookies, crumbed (about 1 1/2 cups)
1 (21-oz.) can cherry pie filling
sweet chocolate squares, grated for garnish
fresh mint, for garnish
In a large mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese, confectioners' sugar, sour cream
and coffee liqueur; mix well. Set aside. In a blender or food processor, process
the cookies in small batches until finely crushed. Remove 6 cherries from cherry
filling; reserve for garnish.
To assemble dessert, spoon 2 tbsp. ricotta cheese mixture into each of six
(8-oz.) parfait glasses. Add 2 tbsp. cookie crumbs to each glass; top each with
2 tbsp. cherry filling. Repeat ricotta, crumb and cherry layers. Finish each
serving with an equal portion of the remaining ricotta cheese mixture. Garnish
with reserved cherries, grated chocolate and mint leaves, if desired. Let chill
2 to 3 hours before serving.
