Ingredients for A Trifle Tiramisu

How to Make A Trifle Tiramisu

  1. In a glass measuring cup, combine 2 tablespoons instant espresso coffee granules with 1/2 cup hot water. Stir until dissolved.
  2. Microwave, uncovered, on high for 1 minute. Let stand in the microwave while preparing the other ingredients.
  3. In a large bowl, combine 2 cups cold milk, 1 (3.4 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix, and 8 ounces cream cheese (softened).
  4. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy.
  5. Set aside.
  6. Cut ladyfingers in half lengthwise.
  7. Place half of a 14-ounce package of ladyfingers (cut-side up) in the bottom of a trifle bowl or a 16-cup glass bowl.
  8. Drizzle 1/4 of the coffee mixture over the ladyfingers.
  9. Spread 1/4 of the pudding mixture over the coffee-soaked ladyfingers.
  10. Spread 1/4 of 16 ounces whipped topping over the pudding layer.
  11. Sprinkle 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips over the whipped topping.
  12. Repeat layers 3 more times, ending with a layer of whipped topping.
  13. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder evenly over the top.
  14. Cover and chill for at least 6 hours (or preferably overnight) to allow the flavors to meld.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
