How to Make French Vanilla Tiramisu

  1. In a large bowl, beat 8 ounces of softened cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy.
  2. Gradually add 1/2 cup of milk, beating well after each addition.
  3. Add 3.4 ounces (1 package) of instant French vanilla pudding mix.
  4. Beat on low speed until the mixture is completely smooth and well blended.
  5. Lightly brush or dust the cut sides of about 20 ladyfingers with strong brewed coffee.
  6. Arrange half of the coffee-dipped ladyfingers in the bottom and up the sides of a 1-quart serving bowl.
  7. Layer half of the pudding mixture over the ladyfingers, followed by half of a 12-ounce container of whipped topping, and a generous sprinkle of grated semi-sweet chocolate.
  8. Top with the remaining coffee-dipped ladyfingers.
  9. Repeat the layers: remaining pudding mixture, remaining whipped topping, and more grated chocolate.
  10. Cover the tiramisu and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set completely.
