RASPBERRY TIRAMISU BITES RECIPE


These luscious little gems are so quick to fix you can make dozens at a time. Inexpensive shot glasses sparkle as contemporary dessert dishes. For large parties, miniature (5-oz.) clear-plastic tumblers, available from party stores, are a great option.

Ingredients
  • 3 tablespoons seedless raspberry preserves
  • 1 tablespoon orange liqueur
  • (3-oz.) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • ladyfingers, halved crosswise
  • fresh raspberries
  • Garnish: fresh mint sprigs
Preparation
  • 1. Microwave raspberry preserves in a small microwave-safe bowl at HIGH 20 seconds. Stir in liqueur.
  • 2. Beat cream cheese and sugar at medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy (about 1 minute).
  • 3. Beat heavy cream with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Fold into cream cheese mixture. Spoon into a zip-top plastic bag. (Do not seal.) Snip 1 corner of bag with scissors to make a hole (about 1/2 inch in diameter).
  • 4. Press 1 ladyfinger half onto bottom of 1 (1 1/2-oz.) shot glass. Repeat procedure with 7 more shot glasses. Drizzle about 1/2 tsp. raspberry mixture into each glass. Pipe a small amount of cream cheese mixture evenly into each glass. Repeat procedure with remaining ladyfingers, raspberry mixture, and cream cheese mixture. Top each glass with 1 raspberry. Cover and chill 2 hours. Garnish, if desired.
