Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Oven and hot trays. Use dry oven gloves for trays and dishes: a hot tray looks just like a cold one. Open the oven door away from your face and let the first rush of heat out.
  • Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

Method

  1. In a large bowl, with an electric mixer at medium speed, beat the Neufchatel and the fat-free cream cheeses together until smooth.
  2. Add the reduced-fat and fat-free sour creams and the sugar, and beat until smooth; set aside.
  3. Split the ladyfingers in half lengthwise.
  4. In a small bowl, combine the hot water the espresso granules, if using, and the rum or rum extract. Quickly dip half the ladyfinger halves, cut-side down, into the espresso mixture.
  5. Place the ladyfingers, dipped-side down, in the bottom of a glass compote, 9-inch-square baking dish or pan, overlapping them, if necessary, to fit.
  6. Spread half the cream cheese mixture evenly over the ladyfingers. Dip the remaining ladyfinger halves into the remaining espresso mixture, then place them, dipped-side down, on top of the cream cheese. Spread the remaining cream cheese mixture on top of the ladyfingers.
  7. Cover the tiramisu with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 to 3 hours, or until chilled. Just before serving, sprinkle the tiramisu with the cocoa- powder and top with chocolate curls.
  8. Serves 9
