Ingredients

• Note:
• 1/2 cup thawed frozen whipped topping
• 2 tablespoons seedless raspberry jam (see Note)
• 1 (3-ounce) package ladyfingers
• 1/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
• 2 teaspoons vegetable shortening
• In a jam 'cause you have no raspberry jam?
• Strawberry works fine, too.
• I’ve even made these a few times with orange marmalade.
• What a great combo that is with the tangy orange and the chocolate

Preparation

Step 1

1.
In a small bowl, combine the whipped topping and jam; mix well.

2.
Split each ladyfinger and spread the mixture equally between the halves.
Replace the tops of the ladyfingers and place on a baking sheet.

3.
In a small saucepan, melt the chocolate chips and shortening over medium-low heat.
Drizzle over the ladyfingers.

4.
Chill for 1 hour, or until the chocolate is firm.
Serve, or cover and chill until ready to serve.
