Ingredients

Directions

  1. Prepare the coffee mixture by stirring the instant coffee granules into the low-fat milk until fully dissolved.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth, then stir in the dry vanilla pudding mix until well combined.
  3. Gradually pour the coffee-infused milk into the cream cheese mixture, beating on medium speed until the filling is thick, smooth, and fluffy.
  4. Quickly dip each ladyfinger half into the remaining coffee mixture, ensuring they are moist but not soggy, and arrange a single layer in the bottom of a 9x13 inch dish.
  5. Spread half of the cream cheese pudding mixture over the ladyfinger layer, then top with half of the sliced ripe bananas.
  6. Sprinkle half of the grated semisweet chocolate over the banana layer.
  7. Repeat the layers with the remaining dipped ladyfingers, pudding mixture, bananas, and chocolate.
  8. Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the flavors to set and meld.
  9. Before serving, top with thawed nondairy whipped topping if desired, and slice into squares.
