Makes 8 servings
4 tablespoons granulated sugar
3 teaspoons cornstarch
1/8 teaspoon salt
1-1/3 cups low-fat (1%) milk
1 egg, lightly beaten
3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1-1/2 cups frozen fat-free whipped topping
1 ounce pkg lady fingers cookies (about 24), each broken in half
3 cups fresh raspberries (reserve 1/2 cup for topping)
1. In a medium nonstick skillet, whisk the sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Add the milk and stir to blend. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture bubbles and thickens, about 4 minutes. Remove from the heat.
2. In a small bowl, combine the egg with 1/4 cup of the hot mixture; stir to blend. Add back to the skillet and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture begins to bubble, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and transfer to a medium bowl; cool 5 minutes. Stir in the vanilla. Fold in 1 cup of the whipped topping until well blended.
3. In a deep 2-qt glass bowl, line the bottom and sides with 8 ladyfingers, breaking some if needed to fit. Sprinkle 3/4 cup of the raspberries in the bowl and top with 1/2 of the custard. Repeat another layer of 8 ladyfingers, 3/4 cup raspberries, and the remaining custard. Top with the remaining 8 ladyfingers, 1/2 cup of the whipped topping, and the remaining raspberries.
4. Cover and chill for at least 4-8 hours or overnight.

NOTE:
This recipe leaves out the rum but includes directions for making your own creamy custard. Ladyfinger cookies, sometimes called savoiardi biscuits, can be found in the specialty cookie section of some grocery stores and gourmet grocery stores, or sometimes in the freezer section of your grocery store. Fresh raspberries are the best, but an equal amount of frozen will work too; but don't thaw before using. This dish is best if made ahead 4-8 hours or overnight.
