Easy Tiramisu

The original recipe made just enough for two and is super simple to make up in muffin tins lined with foil cup cake papers.  However, for a crowd this recipe can be made in a loaf pan and sliced to serve.  It's easy and cool and delicious and the richness it has belies that it's calorie wise and low sugar.

Easy Tiramisu 1 8oz. container of whipped topping, or 2 cups whipped cream
1 8oz. pkg. cream cheese, softened
1 3 oz. pkg. instant vanilla pudding
2 cups cold milk
1/2 box vanilla wafer
1 heaping tbsp instant coffee
3 tbsps hot water
Cocoa powder or solid chocolate to grate
Mix pudding according to directions.  Add softened cream cheese and mix well.  In small bowl, dissolve coffee in hot water.  Dip vanilla wafers in coffee mixture and line a 9inch loaf pan, bottom and halfway up sides with the wafers.  Pour cream cheese pudding mixture into the pan on top of the wafers.  Spread whipped cream over top, dust with cocoa or grated chocolate.  Cover and allow to sit in fridge for at least an hour, overnight is even better, before serving.  *Note* I use sugar free items to make this a lower cal treat.  So good and delicious!
