List of Ingredients




2 tablespoons instant coffee granules
1 1/2 cups water
4 cups lowfat milk
2 packages (3.9 ounces each) "instant" devil's food chocolate pudding mix, (see Cook’s note)
1 package (8 ounces) light cream cheese (neufchatel), at room temperature
24 ladyfingers (two 3-ounce packages), (see Cook’s note)
3/4 cup (8 ounces) semi-sweet mini chocolate chips
1 carton (12 ounces) reduced-fat nondairy whipped topping, such as Cool Whip
1/2 teaspoon cocoa powder, for garnish


Recipe



1. Pour the coffee granules into a glass measure with the water. Microwave, uncovered, on high, 1 minute. Let the coffee stand in the microwave while proceeding with the recipe.

2. Place the milk, pudding mix, and cream cheese in the large bowl of an electric mixer. Mix on medium speed until well blended. Set aside.

3. Split the ladyfingers in half lengthwise. Place half of a package, cut side up, in the bottom of a trifle bowl or glass bowl with a 16-cup capacity. Drizzle 1/4 of the coffee mixture evenly over the ladyfingers. Spread about 1/4 of the pudding mixture over the ladyfingers. Spread 1/4 of the whipped topping over the pudding. Sprinkle 1/4 cup of the chocolate chips over the topping.

4. Repeat these layers 3 more times, ending with whipped topping. Sprinkle the cocoa evenly over the whipped topping to garnish. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate at least 6 hours (or up to 24 hours) to let the flavor develop. Serve in dessert bowls.

Makes 12 servings


Cook's notes: If you’re serving adults only, you can substitute 1/2 cup of coffee liqueur, such as Kahlua, for 1/2 cup of the instant coffee. Simply use only 1 cup water with the same amount of instant coffee (it will be strong, but delicious), and add the Kahlua to the coffee before Step 3. Be sure to buy "instant" pudding (the no-cook variety). If you can’t find devil’s food chocolate pudding, plain chocolate pudding is a milder, (but perfectly fine), substitute. Check with the bakery manager at your grocery store for lady fingers (they are sometimes refrigerated), or substitute thin slices of purchased angel food cake.
