INGREDIENTS:
CREAM LAYER:
- 16 ounces soft room temp cream cheese
- 1/2 - 1 cup light brown sugar depending on how sweet you prefer it
- 2 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp. Bourbon
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1 cup hot fudge sauce warmed and pourable but not scalding hot
- 2 packages of lady finger cookies, roughly 30-35 cookies
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder for dusting center and top of the finished pudding.
COFFEE SOAK:
- 3 cups cold brew coffee
- 2 tbsp. Instant coffee
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
DIRECTIONS:
Best made a day in advance.
- Prepare the coffee soak in a wide and shallow bowl. Set aside.
- In the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, or with a hand mixer, cream the cream cheese and sugar until smooth.
- Slowly stream the whipping cream into the mixture.
- Add the bourbon, vanilla, cinnamon & salt. Beat on medium speed until the whipping cream begins to thicken leaving you with medium peaks. Do not overmix. Set aside.
- Prepare your station. The coffee soak, a plate of cookies. The cream, the warm fudge and a 9 by 13 pan.
- Dunk the lady fingers into the coffee and count to 2, flip, and count to 1. Lay the soaked cookie quickly into the bottom of the 9 by 13 pan. Cover the bottom of the pan. Spread 1/2 of the cream over top of the soaked cookies. Drizzle 1/2 fudge over the top of the cream and add a light dusting of cocoa.
- Repeat this process once again and finish the dish with a dusting of cocoa powder. Refrigerate for 6 hours. Overnight is my fav. Enjoy!
