How to Make Quick Easy Diabetic Tiramisu

In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup hot water and 1 tablespoon instant espresso powder (or strong brewed coffee). Stir until completely dissolved.
Set aside 1 tablespoon of the coffee mixture.

Gently stir in the remaining coffee mixture.
Add 4 ounces (1/2 package) of softened cream cheese and beat until completely smooth and creamy.
Separate ladyfingers lengthwise. Dip the bottom halves of about 12-16 ladyfingers into the reserved tablespoon of coffee mixture. (Don’t over-soak).
Arrange the dipped ladyfingers in the bottom of an 8-inch square glass baking dish.
Evenly spread the pudding mixture over the ladyfingers.

Top with 1 cup of sugar-free whipped topping.
Dust with 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder.
Cover and chill for at least 2-4 hours, or until set, before serving.
