🍰 Tiramisu Pudding Cups (No-Bake, Easy!)

Ingredients

• 1 box (3.4 oz / ~96 g) instant vanilla pudding mix

• 2 cups cold milk

• 1 cup heavy cream (or whipped topping)

• ½ cup strong coffee or espresso, cooled

• 1–2 tbsp sugar (optional, to sweeten coffee)

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 1 package ladyfingers or vanilla wafers

• Cocoa powder for dusting

• Optional: 1–2 tbsp coffee liqueur (Kahlúa, Marsala)

Instructions

1. Make pudding: Whisk pudding mix and cold milk for 2 minutes. Chill 5 minutes.

2. Whip cream: Whip heavy cream until soft peaks. Gently fold into pudding with vanilla.

3. Coffee dip: Mix coffee with sugar (and liqueur if using).

4. Assemble cups:

   • Break ladyfingers/wafers and lightly dip in coffee.

   • Layer in cups: coffee-soaked cookies → pudding → repeat.

5. Finish: Dust generously with cocoa powder.

6. Chill at least 1 hour (overnight is even better).

Tips & Variations

• Chocolate twist: Add a layer of chocolate pudding.

• No coffee: Use chocolate milk or decaf.
