Day 117: Fake Tiramisu

For small group tonight Anna and I made this fake tiramisu. It's incredibly easy and really yummy. Our whole group loved it. Thanks to Mom (Linda Childers) for the recipe!

Easiest Tiramisu:
2 packages of chocolate chip cookies (not chewy)


2 Tbsp Instant coffee
1 Tbsp sugar
1 cup boiling water
(or 1 cup of strong coffee)


2 (8 oz.) packages of cream cheese
3 Tbsp milk
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla

12 oz. cool whip
Chocolate chips (optional)

Mix cream cheese, milk, powdered sugar and vanilla. Fold in Cool Whip.

Using 1/3 of the cookies, dip one at a time in coffee and place in trifle bowl. Layer 1/3 of the cream mixture of the cookies. Repeat with 2 more layers of each. Sprinkle top with shaved or crushed semi-sweet chocolate chips, if desired. Refrigerate 2 hours.

We ended up needing two cups of coffee (we may have soaked the cookies more than dipped them). In our bowl, we made four layers of cookies and cream, instead of three. And we used a cheese grater to shave the chocolate chips on top.
