Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    For 9 grams of fat and 170 calories per serving, substitute reduced-fat cream cheese (Neufchâtel) for the regular cream cheese. Substitute 2 cups frozen (thawed) reduced-fat whipped topping for the beaten whipping cream.
  • tip 2
    “Carry me up” is the translation for tiramisu, pronounced tir-ruh-mee-SOO. This rich Italian dessert is usually made with mascarpone, a buttery rich, slightly sweet and smooth Italian cream cheese.
  • tip 3
    Look for mascarpone in the cheese case in large supermarkets, specialty cheese shops or gourmet food stores.
