This works,

<cfset finishtime = "11:00:00">
<cfset timeremaining = Now()>
<cfset hoursremaining =  DateDiff("h", TimeFormat(Now(), "hh:mm:ss"), 
finishtime)>
<cfset minutesremaining =  DateDiff("n", TimeFormat(Now(), "hh:mm:ss"), 
finishtime)>
<cfif minutesremaining gte "60">
        <cfset minutesremaining = minutesremaining - 60>
</cfif>
<cfset timeremaining = hoursremaining & ":" & minutesremaining>
<cfoutput>
#finishtime# #timeremaining#<br />
</cfoutput>
