I had a good time making this because it doesn’t require baking. I just have to assemble all the sugary pieces in one amazing dessert canvas called dish. This dessert is convenient for someone like me who has work during the weekdays. Having recipes like this on my hands allows me to make amazing desserts for my family even with all the time constraints. I really love seeing the content smiles on the faces of my husband and kids whenever they have sweet treats to devour after a savory meal. It’s the reward I am aspiring for every time.
Check out what our friends from Real House Moms have to say about this recipe:
“The coffee that the ladyfingers are soaked with has been steeped with a whole cinnamon stick. Then ground cinnamon is whipped into the creamy filling. And for good measure, each slice is served with a little sprinkle of cinnamon over top. The perfect dessert for the cinnamon & tiramisu lover alike!”
It’s the perfect combination of a lot of things. It will satisfy anyone who just wants a good dessert.
Ingredients
- 1 package (3 oz) Roland ladyfingers, split
- 1/4 strongly brewed coffee + 1 tbsp sugar mixed in
- 1 McCormick cinnamon stick
- 1 (3.5 oz) package Jell-o instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1 cup Borden cold milk
- 4 oz Belgioioso mascarpone cheese
- 1 1/2 cups Cool Whip whipping topping, thawed
- 1 tsp McCormick ground cinnamon, plus more for dusting
Instructions
- Strongly brew a cup of coffee. While still hot, mix in the sugar. Drop in the cinnamon stick and allow to steep for 1 hour. Remove the cinnamon stick and allow the infused coffee to cool completely.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together the vanilla pudding mix & cold milk. Then beat in the mascarpone cheese until smooth & creamy. Fold in the whipped topping & ground cinnamon. Set aside.
- Arrange half of the ladyfingers in the bottom of a 9×9 inch baking pan. Brush the ladyfingers with about half of the cooled cinnamon coffee.
- Spread half of the pudding/mascarpone cheese mixture over the ladyfingers in the dish. Cover with the remaining ladyfingers; then brush the second layer of ladyfingers with the remaining coffee mixture. Top with the remaining pudding/mascarpone cheese mixture.
- Cover & refrigerate for at least 4 hours & up to overnight. Top with a little whipped topping & a sprinkle of ground cinnamon before serving, if desired. Enjoy immediately. You can cover & refrigerate any leftovers for up to 3 days.
