June 22, 2007: Leftover Makeover - Orange Tiramisu

The key ingredients to use up here were some dry sponge fingers (from dessert pesto days) and cream cheese (from a second batch of cream cheese brownies - Michael wanted to impress the ladies at work). Add to the mix a duty-free bottle of Cointreau and you have orange tiramisu! In haphazard blobs, these glasses contain:

• sponge fingers, sprinkled with a smidge of cointreau and left to soften, then gently chopped into chunks;
• cream cheese, whipped briefly by hand with a bit of brown sugar and orange juice until dissolved;
• fresh orange segments.

These were messy-looking but fun, sweet and tangy little desserts!
