Blueberry Tiramisu

Ingredients

• 3 cups blueberries
• 1 pound Neufchatel cheese
• 1-1/2 cups heavy cream
• 2/3 cup sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
• 40 lady fingers
• 2 cups hot water
• 3 tablespoons instant espresso powder
• 2 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa

Directions

1. Puree the blueberries (make sure to remove stems first, if any). In a large bowl stir puree into the cheese and set aside.
2. In a clean bowl, beat the heavy cream, sugar and almond extract until soft peaks form.
3. Stir one-third of the whipped cream into Neufchatel mixture.
4. In two more additions, fold the remaining whipped cream into Neufchatel mixture.
5. Line the bottom of a baking pan with half the ladyfingers. Stir 2 cups of hot water into espresso powder and cocoa until smooth. Brush half the espresso mixture onto the lady fingers.
6. Spread half the Neufchatel mixture over the ladyfingers. Repeat layering with the remaining lady fingers, coffee and Neufchatel mixtures.
7. Chill for at least 4 hours. Top with fresh blueberries.
