Tiramisu Pudding (Brenna)

"I've made several times and LOVE...I don't put the cognac or brandy in it...although I have put the brandy essence in it, but don't really like it that much." - Brenna

Ingredients:

• 4 cups milk
• 2.75 ounces chocolate pudding mix
• 2.75 ounces vanilla pudding mix
• 1-1/2 cups brewed coffee, cooled
• 32 to 36 ladyfinger cookies
• 1 tablespoon cognac
• 1 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder
• Whipped cream, for serving

Prepare the tiramisu up to a day ahead to let the flavors mingle.

Directions:

1. In a small saucepan, stir together 2 cups milk and the chocolate pudding mix over medium heat. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Let cool for 5 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, in another small saucepan, stir together the remaining 2 cups milk and the vanilla pudding mix over medium heat. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Let cool for 5 minutes.
3. Pour the coffee into a shallow dish next to an 8-inch pie pan. Dip the ladyfingers into the coffee, turning to coat, and arrange in a single layer in the pie pan. Sprinkle with half of the cognac. Spread the chocolate pudding on top, then cover with another layer of coffee-dipped ladyfingers. Sprinkle the remaining cognac over the ladyfingers, then spread the vanilla pudding on top. Press a sheet of plastic wrap onto the top of the pudding and refrigerate until set and chilled, about 3 hours. Dust with the cocoa powder and serve with the whipped cream.
