A little Pick Me Up!

So my sister Holly was here over the weekend, we live so far apart and we hadn't seen each other in over a year; we had some much needed catching up to do. She is an amazing mom to 5 beautiful children so I wanted to treat her to something sweet for dessert while she was here.


So here is my recipe so you can treat yourself to a little Tiramisu Trifle


So you start with either lady fingers (if you can find them), pound cake sliced about 1/2 inch thick, or what I used this time around was a vanilla loaf. They have them pre-sliced at Walmart and super easy to work with.


Trifle bowl - if you are concerned about seeing the layers
1 large tub of coolwhip thawed
1 container of whipped cream cheese
14 oz sweetened condensed milk
1 package white chocolate pudding mix
cocoa powder
coffee flavor and coffee or Kahlua
chocolate shavings or a cold chocolate bar to shave yourself


Start with a large bowl and mix together the pudding, milk, and cream cheese. Mix until combined then fold in the coolwhip in batches so not to loose all the air from the coolwhip.


Take your trifle bowl and lay down just enough vanilla loaf to cover the bottom - mine took 3 slices. In a cup combine coffee and about 1tsp. of coffee extract - or just use the Kahlua. Drizzle each slice of loaf with the mixture - about a spoonful each.


Layer a third of the whipped cream mixture, dust with cocoa powder, then another layer of vanilla loaf and repeat until you finish with the final whipped cream topping. Add shaved chocolate for garnish and chill for at least 2 hours.


Enjoy!!
