Gloria's Tiramisu

Gloria's Tiramisu
Prep time: 5 minutes

Cook time: 1 1/2 hours plus overnight chill

Ingredients:
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup water
1 small box instant French Vanilla Pudding
2 cups heavy whipping cream
4 cups cold espresso (Gloria uses decaf instant)
32 (approx) ladyfingers
1/2 cup sifted unsweetened cocoa powder

Directions:
Beat together the condensed milk, water and pudding mix. Chill in fridge for 1 hour.
In a bowl, beat the cream to soft peaks. Whisk the pudding mixture to smooth texture and fold in the whipped cream. Chill for 20 minutes.
Have a 9 x 13 inch serving dish ready. Pour cold espresso into a shallow bowl or pie plate. Whisk the pudding/cream mixture to lighten.
Spread a thin layer of pudding mixture on the bottom of the serving dish. Dip each ladyfinger into the espresso, both sides, and layer in the serving dish. Spread another even layer of pudding mixture over. Sift 1/2 of the cocoa over to cover. Repeat the dipping/layering of ladyfingers. Spread over the remaining pudding mixture. Sift over the remaining cocoa. Place tiramisu in the fridge to rest for 6 hours or overnight.
