Rhubarb Tiramisu

Rhubarb Tiramisu

Points per serving 2½
Serves 4

300 g rhubarb, trimmed and cut into 2cm pieces
3 tablespoon artificial sweetener, powdered, to taste
200 g low-fat soft cheese (eg extra light philadelphia)
200 g very low-fat plain fromage frais, or Quark
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
2 teaspoon coffee, make up to 150ml with hot water, then allow to cool
2 tablespoon Amaretto Liqueur, or Marsala
8 portion sponge finger
1 heaped teaspoon cocoa powder, for dusting

Put the rhubarb into a saucepan with a little water. Bring to the boil, then simmer very gently for about 3 minutes until the rhubarb is soft. Cool, then sweeten to taste with powdered sweetener. Share the rhubarb between 4 serving glasses.

In a mixing bowl, beat together the soft cheese, fromage frais or Quark and vanilla extract. Add 2-3 tbsp powdered sweetener, to taste. Spoon half this mixture over the rhubarb.

In a shallow dish, mix together the cooled coffee and Marsala or liqueur. Dip the sponge fingers briefly into the coffee mixture, and layer 2 into each serving dish. Spoon the remaining soft cheese mixture on top. Chill until ready to serve.

Just before serving, sprinkle each dessert with a little cocoa powder.
