How to Make Easy Pudding Tiramis

  1. Prepare the chocolate pudding according to package directions using 2 cups of milk.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the prepared pudding and coffee liqueur (or strong coffee). Beat until completely combined and smooth.
  3. Cover the pudding mixture with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
  4. Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. In a shallow dish, combine the sugar and coffee (or use half if using vanilla wafers). Dip each ladyfinger (or vanilla wafer) into the coffee mixture for 4-5 seconds, ensuring they are moistened but not soggy.
  6. Arrange half of the coffee-soaked ladyfingers in the bottom of an 8-cup trifle bowl or similar dish.
  7. Spread half of the pudding mixture evenly over the ladyfingers.
  8. Sprinkle half of the cocoa powder or chocolate shavings over the pudding layer.
  9. Repeat layers with the remaining ladyfingers, pudding mixture, and cocoa powder.
  10. Cover the trifle bowl tightly with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
