What You'll Need

1/2 cup frozen whipped topping, thawed
2 tablespoons seedless raspberry jam
1 package (3 ounces) ladyfingers
1/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
2 teaspoons vegetable shortening

What to Do

In a small bowl, combine the whipped topping and jam; mix well.
Split each ladyfinger and spread the raspberry mixture equally between the halves. Replace the tops of the ladyfingers and place on a baking sheet. Melt the chocolate chips and shortening in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Drizzle over the ladyfingers and chill for at least 1 hour, or until firm. Serve, or cover and chill until ready to serve.

Notes

In a jam 'cause you have no raspberry jam? Strawberry or almost any fruit flavor will work fine. I've made it a few times with orange marmalade and what a combo that is - tangy orange with a chocolate drizzle....Mmm mmm!
