Tiramisu, a classic Italian dessert, typically includes ladyfingers dipped in coffee and layers of mascarpone cheese and egg yolks. These individual tiramisu trifles use a similar method, but with reduced-fat and fat-free cream cheese to lighten up the dessert. The flavor is still rich, thanks to the coffee and marsala, and the small cups make for an elegant presentation. Whether served as a dessert for a dinner party or an indulgent treat at home, these individual tiramisu trifles will not disappoint.

Instructions

1.	In a shallow dish, combine the coffee and marsala, mixing well.
2.	In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese and sugar, using an electric mixer, beat until well mixed.
3.	In a separate bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the fat-free cream cheese until smooth.
4.	Add the fat-free cream cheese to the large bowl with the cream cheese mixture, and beat until well combined.
5.	Dip 10 ladyfingers in the coffee mixture, making sure to coat both sides, then place them in the bottom of 10 small cups.
6.	Spread half the cream mixture evenly over the ladyfingers, then top with another layer of coffee-dipped ladyfingers. Spread the remaining cream mixture over the top layer of ladyfingers.
7.	Cover the cups with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
8.	Just before serving, dust each tiramisu trifle with cocoa, using a fine-mesh strainer.
