Oh yes, I do have a sweet tooth!

It dawned on me that I haven't shared a dessert recipe.  That's just not like me because, boy, do I love sweets.  So, after serving this taste treat to a group of friends, I decided I better share it with you.  It is light in calories and fat, and it is simple to make.

Tiramisu Parfaits
(idea from a Taste of Home recipe)


1 3/4 cups cold nonfat milk
1 1-ounce package sugar free instant vanilla pudding mix
4 ounces fat free cream cheese
3 ounces angel food cake, cut into small cubes
1/3 cup Amaretto liqueur
2 cups fat free whipped topping, such as Cool Whip Free
2 tablespoons miniature chocolate chips
1 teaspoon cocoa powder

In a medium bowl, whisk milk and pudding mix for 2 minutes.  In another medium bowl, beat cream cheese with electric beaters until smooth.  Slowly beat in pudding until smooth; set aside.

Place angel food cubes in a small bowl.  Add Amaretto and toss; let stand for 5 minutes.  Divide half of angel food cubes among 6 parfait glasses.  Top with half of pudding mixture, 1 cup whipped topping and 1 tablespoon chocolate chips.  Repeat layers.  Sprinkle with cocoa powder.

Cover parfaits with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least several hours.  Makes 6 servings.

Note:  If you prefer an alternative to alcohol, substitute strong coffee for the Amaretto.
