> How do you make it?

> Kath2 packages of (24?) lady fingers or sponge cake layers
soaked in
1/2 cup espresso
1/4 cup amaretto, cointreau, rum, etc
1tbsp sugar1 pint heavy whipping cream whipped to medium stiff peaks with 1/2 c sugar. then add
12 oz whipped cream cheese, or even better mascarpone italian triple creme cheesegrate 2 oz of semisweet chocolate
now the construction. find a nice dish, I use a medium sized casserole dish or trifle dish. a cake pan will work too, but probably 9x13 will require a double recipe. so let's say 9x9 square (can you tell that I'm very improvisatory in my cooking?)
dip half the ladyfinger in espresso syrup, with your lady fingers and layer on the bottom of the dish then cover with half the creme and half the chocolate (you can use sifted cocoa powder if you wish). then repeat for the second layer. It may look messy, but that's okay, just use the grated chocolate to cover everything up.
refrigerate overnight or as long as you can hold out. yum. tastes good with some berries on the side, and let's face it, they add a little more nutritional value to the finished dessert.
enjoy!

p.s. no cooking. no baking. = perfect for a lazy day
