Ingredients:
Amount Ingredient
12 oz ladyfingers or pound cake
1 can sweetened chestnut spread - (17 1/2 oz)
2 tbl rum
(or orange juice)
Orange Syrup (listed below)
1 cup whipping cream
2 cup plain nonfat yogurt
(or regular sour cream)
2 oz semisweet chocolate - (to 4)
3 x thin round peeled orange slices - (to 4)
----------------- ORANGE SYRUP ----------------
1 cup water
1/2 cup sugar
1 tbl finely-shredded orange peel
1/4 cup rum
Instructions:
Instructions: Separate ladyfingers (or thinly slice cake) and lay pieces side by side (or overlap, as needed) to cover a 14- to 15-inch-wide rimmed platter or very shallow bowl; leave a 1-inch rim.

Mix chestnut spread with rum and 2 tablespoons of the Orange Syrup. Pour remaining syrup over ladyfingers to moisten evenly. Gently spread chestnut mixture over ladyfingers, leaving 1 inch at rim of the cookies uncovered.

In a bowl with a mixer on high speed, beat whipping cream until it holds distinct peaks; whisk in the yogurt. Swirl over chestnut spread and most of the exposed ladyfinger rim.

Pare chocolate with a vegetable peeler to make curls, or finely chop with a knife or in a food processor. Scatter chocolate over tiramisu. Top chocolate with orange slices. Scoop portions with a spoon.

For Orange Syrup: In a 1- to 1 1/2-quart pan over high heat, boil water, sugar, and orange peel until reduced to 3/4 cup. Let cool slightly and add 1/4 cup rum or orange juice. Use hot or cool.

This recipe yields 10 to 12 servings.

Comments: Up to 1 day ahead, separately wrap orange slices and dessert airtight, without touching the dessert top; chill. Uncover and decorate with fruit.
