Ingredients

• 4 1/2 teaspoons instant coffee
• 1/3 cup boiling water
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups cold milk
• 2 packages vanilla instant pudding mix
• 4 ounces cream cheese
• 1 package of lady fingers, halved
• 2 cups whipped cream
• Cocoa powder for dusting

Preparation

Step 1

Dissolve instant coffee in boiling water, then cool to room temp.

Whisk milk and pudding and let stand for 5 minutes until it has set.

In the meantime, beat cream cheese until smooth.

Add to the pudding and whisk vigorously until smooth and incorporated.

Place the halved ladyfingers into a bowl and add the coffee and vanilla.

Gently toss and allow a few minutes for the ladyfingers to absorb the liquid.

Divide the ladyfingers between the parfait glasses. Top with a tablespoon of the pudding mixture, and a tablespoon of the whipped cream.

Repeat this process three times. Dust each parfait with cocoa powder and refrigerator for 2-3 hours or longer before serving.
