This fabulous favorite stars berries layered with ladyfingers, raspberry preserves, and an orange cream cheese filling. Use your favorite seasonal berry combination and serve this gorgeous tiramisu in individual parfait glasses for extra pizzazz. Garnish with a curl of orange peel.

2/3 cup seedless sugar-free raspberry preserves

1/4 cup orange liqueur or orange juice

6 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese

1/4 cup sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon orange zest

1 (8-ounce) container fat-free frozen whipped topping, thawed (divided use)

1/2 cup raspberries

1 cup sliced strawberries

2 (3-ounce) packages ladyfingers, split in half (24)

1. In a small bowl, mix together the raspberry preserves and orange liqueur. In a large bowl, cream together the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until light. Stir in the orange zest and whipped topping, reserving 1/2 cup whipped topping. In a separate small bowl, gently combine the raspberries and strawberries.

2. Line the bottom of an oblong 2-quart dish with half of the split ladyfingers. Spread half of the preserves on top, then half of the cream cheese, then half of the berries. Repeat the layers with remaining ladyfingers, preserves, and cream cheese. Carefully top with a thin layer of the remaining whipped topping. Top with the remaining berries. Cover and refrigerate for several hours or overnight.

Terrific Tidbit

Instead of fresh orange zest, you can use dried orange peel, found in the spice aisle of the supermarket.  The orange zest surprisingly really enhances the orange flavor.
