LEMON BERRY TIRAMISU

"The Italian name for this trendy cheese and fruit dessert translates as "pick me up." It's guaranteed to do that for any special meal."

1/3 cup frozen pineapple-orange-strawberry juice concentrate, thawed
3 tablespoons orange-flavored liqueur or orange juice
1 cup light ricotta cheese
1/2 (8 oz.) pkg. 1/3-less-fat cream cheese (Neufchatel), softened
1 (15.75 oz.) can lemon pie filling
2 pkg. (3 oz. each) ladyfingers, split
1 pint (2 cups) fresh strawberries, sliced
1/2 pint (1 cup) fresh raspberries

In small bowl, combine juice concentrate and liqueur; blend well. Set aside.

In large bowl with electric mixer, beat ricotta cheese and cream cheese at medium speed until smooth. Add pie filling; beat until well blended and fluffy, scraping sides of bowl occasionally.
