I need a non-alcoholic liquid for a ladyfinger recipe (more)?!
I need a non-alcoholic liquid for a ladyfinger recipe (more)?
I will want to pour it over ladyfingers that have been layered with cream cheese, whipped cream and vanilla.
Any suggestions would be great! I was thinking of a substitute that would be along the lines of Kahlua or Tia Maria, but I'm open to suggestions :)

Adding: I thought about the syrups but they're very very sweet; I was hoping to preserve more of the cheese flavor with it, with just a hint of a liqueur - but of course without the liquor LOL!

You can always do espresso, or coffee.
Great would be a flavored instant cappuccino packet.
Or, mix any flavor extract with a little water or milk. Add some vanilla, orange or rum extract to a little milk and pour over the ladyfingers.
So why not try one of the coffee syrups for lattes. They have the flavor and sweetness without the alcohol.
have you tried using a chocolate syrup, like they use for ice cream? ... or take a favourite jelly and cut it (water it down) with water, heat it on the stovetop a few minutes and stir... when cooled, pour it over your dessert.
if it were me, I would make a reduction of orange juice...it comes out with just the right amount of sweet!...it takes ages by heating the juice over low heat in a sauce pan on the stove but totally worth it and tastes fan-freaking-tastic with the stuff you described...
Orange juice reduction, recipe follows
1 (12-ounce) can frozen orange juice concentrate
1 teaspoon sugar
Pour the entire can of frozen orange juice into a medium saucepan and heat the juice over medium heat. Reduce the liquid by 1/2. and stir well.
