Pistachio Coconut Cake

Grease a 9-inch glass dish or individual parfait glasses.

Combine the ricotta cheese, cream cheese, 1/2 cup sugar, cocoa powder, egg yolk, and vanilla in a food processor. Process until smooth, scraping down the sides of the work bowl as needed. Transfer the ricotta mixture to a medium bowl.

In another bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. With the mixer running, slowly add the remaining sugar and beat the whites until they are stuff and glossy.

Fold the beaten egg whites into the ricotta mixture.

Combine the coffee and coffee liqueur in a measuring cup (or other container that is easy to pour from).

Place the lady fingers in a layer in the bottom of the glass dish (or in the bottom of individual parfait glasses, cutting the lady fingers to fit if needed).

Sprinkle the lady fingers with some of the coffee liqueur. Spread a layer of ricotta cheese over the top. Repeat the layers. If using the glass dish you'll have two layers, if using parfait glasses you may have 3 or more layers depending on the size of the glasses.

Cover the tiramisu and chill or 3 hours (or overnight).

Before serving, sift cocoa powder over the top of the tiramisu.

Serve the chocolate coffee tiramisu well-chilled.
