Tiramisu

Ingredients:
* 2 cups cold milk
* 1 package (3.4 ounces) instant vanilla pudding mix
* 1 cup heavy whipping cream
* 3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
* 18 ladyfingers, split
* 2-1/2 teaspoons instant coffee granules
* 1/2 cup boiling water
* 1 tablespoon baking cocoa

Directions:
In a bowl, whisk milk and pudding mix for 2 minutes. Let stand for 2 minutes or until soft-set. In a small bowl, beat cream until it begins to thicken. Add confectioners' sugar; beat until soft peaks form. Fold into pudding; cover and refrigerate.
Arrange half of the ladyfingers cut side up in an 11-in. x 7-in. dish. Dissolve coffee granules in boiling water; drizzle half over the ladyfingers. Spread with half of the pudding mixture. Repeat layers. Sprinkle with cocoa. Refrigerate until serving. Yield: 6 servings.

I was really impressed with this recipe. It is from Taste of Home and I had all the ingredients to make it except for the heavy whipping cream. It was really easy to make and tasted exactly like tiramisu although the texture is a little different. I definitely recommend it. I think it would also be good doubled and used to make a trifle.
