Ingredients

1 1/2 8-ounce packages light cream cheese, room temperature
3/4 cup powdered sugar
7 tablespoons Marsala
1/2 cup sour cream
1 1-pint basket strawberries
3/4 cup boiling water
2 tablespoons sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons instant espresso powder or instant coffee powder
2 1/4 (about) 3.5-ounce packages Champagne biscuits (ladyfinger-style cookies)
1 ounce bittersweet (not unsweetened) or semisweet chocolate, grated

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Blend cream cheese, powdered sugar and 5 tablespoons Marsala in processor until smooth. Mix in sour cream. Slice half of strawberries; cut all remaining strawberries in half.

    Step 2

    Combine boiling water, 2 tablespoons sugar and espresso powder in medium bowl; stir to dissolve. Mix in remaining 2 tablespoons Marsala.

Dip more biscuits into espresso mixture and arrange atop sliced strawberries in dish, covering completely and trimming to fit. Spread remaining cream cheese mixture over. Sprinkle with grated chocolate. Arrange halved strawberries around edge of pan. Cover and refrigerate until set, at least 4 hours. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead.) Cut into squares and serve.
