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.
  • Blending hot liquid. Let it cool a little first, fill the blender no more than a third, and hold the lid down with a folded towel. Start on the lowest speed. A stick blender in the pan is safer.
  • 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. Position knife blade in food processor bowl; add sugar, cottage cheese, sour cream, rum, yogurt and neufchatel cheese. Process unti and espresso granules in a small bowl. Split ladyfingers in half lengthwise; quickly dip 20 halves, cut side down, into espresso. Place, dipped sid down, in the bottom of a 9-inch square baking dish. Dip 20 more ladyfinger halves, cut side down, into espresso; arrange, dipped side down, on top of first layer. Spread 2 cups cheese mixture evenly over ladyfinger halves. Repeat cheese mixture. Place one toothpick in each corner and one in the center of tiramisu, to prevent plastic wrap from sticking to cheese mixture; cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 8 to 24 hours. Remove toothpicks; sprinkle with cocoa. (222 calories, 7.5g fat, 30% calories from fat)
