Oscar Time

Kate Winslet and Sean Penn both won an Oscar tonight. Hip hip hooray!!!! In honor of the Oscars, I was inspired to make something sinful. And this led me to.......

Banana Tiramisu

• 2 packages ladyfingers
• 2 packages softened cream cheese
• 1 1/2 Tablespoon Amaretto liqueur
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup sugar, plus 1/4 cup sugar for topping
• 1 Teaspoon Vanilla
• 3 bananas
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1 cup coffee (vanilla nut)
• 1 teaspoon cocoa

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Blend cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add vanilla then eggs one at a time. Add Amaretto and mix until well blended.

Grease an 8 x 8 inch pan. Line the pan with Ladyfingers, then drizzle with coffee.
Slice Bananas and arrange on Ladyfingers, then pour the cream cheese mixture over bananas.

Bake 40 to 45 minutes until the center is almost set. Let cool off on the counter then refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.

Whip the heavy cream with the remaining sugar.
Put whipped cream in zip lock bag, snip the corner and pipe onto dessert. Dust with cocoa.
