8 oz mascarpone or whipped cream cheese
2 Tbs sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
2 pkgs soft ladyfingers or dessert shells
1 c raspberries

Line 8x8 glass baking dish with half of the lady fingers.

Notes

Chambord is a raspberry liqueur.
Gran Marnier is an orange liqueur.
Other liqueurs may work.
A 60/40 split of raspberry to orange seems best. ( i.e. 4 Tbs Chambord to 2 Tbs Marnier )

To give top raspberries shine, melt a teaspoon of jam and roll raspberries in jam before placing on top.
