🔪 Instructions:

1. Make the pudding mixture:
   In a bowl, whisk together the pudding mix and cold milk for 2 minutes until thick.
   Fold in mascarpone and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Chill for 10 minutes.

2. Soak the ladyfingers:
   Combine coffee and sugar (if using). Quickly dip ladyfingers—one at a time—into coffee (1–2 seconds). Don’t let them get mushy.

3. Assemble the cups:
   In 4–6 small cups or jars:

   • Place a layer of coffee-soaked ladyfingers at the bottom

   • Spoon in a layer of pudding mixture

   • Repeat the layers (2 of each is ideal)

4. Chill & finish:
   Cover and refrigerate for at least 1–2 hours to set.
   Before serving, dust tops with cocoa powder and add whipped cream or chocolate shavings, if desired.

🍽️ Tips & Variations:

• Mascarpone swap: Cream cheese works too, but mascarpone gives the authentic tiramisu flavor.

• Alcohol option: Add 1–2 tbsp coffee liqueur, rum, or amaretto to the coffee for a boozy kick.
