Directions: |
Directions:In a large bowl, with mixer at medium speed, beat cream cheese and milk until smooth and fluffy.
Add confectioners' sugar, 3 tbsp. coffee-flavored liqueur, 1 tsp vanilla extract and 2/3s of the grated chocolate and mix well.
In a small bowl, with mixer at medium speed, beat 1 cup heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
Fold whipped cream into the cheese mixture carefully.
In a small bowl, stir instant espresso-powder, remaining 1/3 cup coffee-flavored liqueur, remaining 1/2 tsp vanilla extract, and 2 tbsp. water until the powder is dissolved.
Separate ladyfingers in half. Line the bottom of a 2 1/2 quart glass or crystal bowl with 1/4 of the ladyfingers, brush with 2 tbsp. of the espresso mixture. Spoon 1/3 of the cheese mixture over the ladyfingers. Repeat the process with ladyfingers, espresso mixture, and cheese mixture to make two more layers. Top with remaining ladyfingers, gently pressing the ladyfingers into the cheese mixture. Brush ladyfingers with remaining espresso mixture. Sprinkle remaining grated chocolate over the top, reserving 1 tbsp. for garnish.
In a small bowl, with mixer at medium speed, beat remaining 1/2 cup heavy cream and 2 tbsp. confectioners' sugar until stiff peaks form. Use this to decorate the top by spooning the whipped cream into a decorating bag with a large star tip. Pipe large rosettes around the edge and sprinkle the rosettes with reserved grated chocolate.
Put in the refrigerator to chill and incorporate the flavors, at least 2 hours. |
