Directions
-
Prepare the coffee mixture by stirring the instant coffee granules into the low-fat milk until fully dissolved.
-
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth, then stir in the dry vanilla pudding mix until well combined.
-
Gradually pour the coffee-infused milk into the cream cheese mixture, beating on medium speed until the filling is thick, smooth, and fluffy.
-
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.
-
Spread half of the cream cheese pudding mixture over the ladyfinger layer, then top with half of the sliced ripe bananas.
-
Sprinkle half of the grated semisweet chocolate over the banana layer.
-
Repeat the layers with the remaining dipped ladyfingers, pudding mixture, bananas, and chocolate.
-
Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the flavors to set and meld.
-
Before serving, top with thawed nondairy whipped topping if desired, and slice into squares.
