1 package (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix

1½ cups cold milk

8 oz mascarpone cheese (or cream cheese, softened)

1 cup whipped topping (like Cool Whip), plus more for topping

---

Instructions:

1. Make the pudding base

In a bowl, whisk together the vanilla pudding mix and cold milk until thickened (about 2 minutes). Let it sit for 2 more minutes to set.

2. Add mascarpone & whipped topping

Beat the mascarpone into the pudding until smooth. Fold in 1 cup whipped topping gently until fully combined.

3. Prepare the coffee dip

In a shallow bowl, combine coffee and coffee liqueur (if using). Quickly dip ladyfingers into the mixture — just 1–2 seconds per side.

4. Assemble the cups

In small cups or jars, layer:

A few broken dipped ladyfingers

A generous spoonful of pudding mixture

Repeat one more layer, finishing with pudding mixture on top

5. Chill

Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to let flavors meld.

6. Top & serve

Just before serving, top with a dollop of whipped topping, dust with cocoa powder, and add chocolate shavings if desired.

🍫 Optional Variations:

Add a layer of Nutella between the cookies and pudding

Use chocolate pudding instead of vanilla

Top with crushed biscotti for a little crunch
