cheaters mini eclairs |
makes 1 dozen |
1/2 cup frozen whipped topping, thawed |
2 tablespoons seedless raspberry jam (see note) |
1 package (3 ounces) ladyfingers |
1/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips |
2 teaspoons vegetable shortening |
in a small bowl, combine the whipped topping and jam; mix well. split each ladyfinger and spread the raspberry mixture equally between the halves. replace the tops of the ladyfingers and place on a baking sheet. melt the chocolate chips and shortening in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. drizzle over the ladyfingers and chill for at least 1 hour, or until the chocolate is firm. serve, or cover and chill until ready to serve. |
note: in a jam 'cause you have no raspberry jam strawberry works fine, too. i've even made it a few times with orange marmalade, and what a combo that is - tangy orange with chocolate drizzle. |
