I haven't yet tried this, but found it in a cookbook put out by Kraft and thought it sounded great; it's sort of a quickie tiramisu. I would be tempted to nix the Cool Whip and substitute real whipped cream.
Ingredients:
2 (3 ounce) packages ladyfingers, split and separated
1 cup strong coffee, at room temperature
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
2 cups cold milk
2 (3 1/2 ounce) packages instant vanilla pudding or 2 (3 1/2 ounce) packages instant vegetarian vanilla pudding mix
1 (8 ounce) container cool whip
Directions:
1. Brush the cut side of the ladyfingers with about 1/4 cup of the coffee.
2. Place ladyfingers on bottom and up the sides of a 2-quart serving bowl or dish.
3. In a large mixing bowl, with a whisk, beat cream cheese and remaining 3/4 cup of coffee until smooth.
4. Gradually whisk milk in, until smooth.
5. Add pudding mixes; beat with whisk for one minute or until well blended.
6. Gently fold in half of the Cool Whip, which would be 1 1/2 cups in case you want to substitute real whipped cream.
7. Spoon into the ladyfinger-lined bowl and cover; refrigerate for at least one hour.
8. To serve, top with remaining Cool Whip.
