Ingredients:
3/4 cup coarsely crushed
amaretti cookies (6 pairs of cookies)
1 8-ounce container coffee
low-fat yogurt*
2 tablespoons coffee-flavor
liqueur (optional)
confectioners' sugar
unsweetened cocoa for garnish
2 teaspoons instant espresso-coffee
powder
1 3- to 4 1/2-ounce sponge-type
ladyfingers
1 1/2 cups thawed frozen
light whipped topping (about 3/4 8-ounce container)
1 8-ounce container vanilla
low-fat yogurt*
2 ounces whipped cream cheese
(1/2 4-ounce container)
Instructions:
In small bowl, with rubber
spatula, mix coffee and vanilla yogurts. Place large paper coffee filter
in small metal strainer set over small bowl. Spoon yogurt mixture into
coffee filter; place in refrigerator. Let yogurt mixture stand 2 hours
(whey will drip into bowl and yogurt will be slightly thickened).
Remove yogurt mixture from
refrigerator and discard liquid in bowl. Spoon yogurt mixture into bowl;
stir in whipped cream cheese and 1/3 cup confectioners' sugar until well
blended. Set aside.
Separate ladyfingers into
halves. Cut each half crosswise in half and place in jelly- roll pan. In
small bowl, stir together coffee-flavor liqueur, instant espresso-coffee
powder, 1/4 cup hot tap water, and 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar (if
not using coffee-flavor liqueur, increase hot tap water to 1/3 cup and
espresso-coffee powder to 1 tablespoon). Brush ladyfingers on both sides
with espresso mixture.
In each of six 8-ounce parfait
glasses, layer 4 pieces of ladyfinger, 1 scant tablespoon crushed amaretti
cookies, 2 tablespoons yogurt mixture, and 1heaping tablespoon whipped
topping. Repeat layering one more time. Sprinkle with cocoa if you like.
Refrigerate at least 30 minutes or until ready to serve.
*Do not use yogurt that contains
gelatin; it does not allow the whey to drip from the yogurt.
