Simple Tiramisu

Original recipe http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Simple-Tiramisu/Detail.aspx

Yield 9 servings (that's big pieces for as sweet as this is!)

Ingredients:
16 lady fingers
2/3 cup strong brewed coffee, room temperature
1/3 cup maple syrup
1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup maple syrup
1 (12 ounce) container forzen whipped topping, thawed
1 tablespoon unsweetned cocoa powder for dusting

Directions:
1. Split lady fingers lengthwise and use them to line the bottom and sides of an 8x8 inch dish. Stir together coffee and 1/3 cup maple syrup until smooth. Spoon mixture over ladyfingers.
2. In a large bowl, beat together cream cheese, sour cream and 1/2 cup maple syrup until smooth. Fold in whipped topping. Spread mixture over soaked ladyfingers. Cover and chill 15 minutes.
3. Dust with sifted cocoa just before serving

My thoughts:
I was a little skeptical because this recipe was so much easier and had way less ingredients than most for tiramisu. It's not as "pretty" but it tastes pretty darn close we thought! As always I prefer to buy the fat free dairy products because it's all I can really take with my digestive issues. Lady fingers are hard to find (by the bakery not cookies at our Kroger) so you can use pound cake for another option.
