Step 1

Dissolve instant coffee in boiling water, then cool to room temp.

Step 2

Whisk milk and pudding and let stand for 5 minutes until it has set.

Step 3

In the meantime, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add to the pudding and whisk vigorously until smooth and incorporated.

Step 4

Place the halved ladyfingers into a bowl and add the coffee and vanilla. Gently toss and allow a few minutes for the ladyfingers to absorb the liquid.

Step 5

Divide the ladyfingers between the parfait glasses. Top with a tablespoon of the pudding mixture, and a tablespoon of the whipped cream. Repeat this process three times. Dust each parfait with cocoa powder and refrigerator for 2-3 hours or longer before serving.
