Tiramisu in a Jar
Food Facts Traditional tiramisu, which when translated means "carry me up" or "pick me up," is a dessert made with ladyfingers dipped in coffee, which are then layered with mascarpone and grated chocolate. This easy-to-make version uses pound cake and a mixture of cream cheese spread, vanilla pudding and COOL WHIP instead of the mascarpone

Ingredients

You can whip up this simple version of tiramisu—with coffee, cubed pound cake and pudding—with just 20 minutes of prep.

1 tub (8 oz.) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese Spread
2 cups cold milk
1 pkg. (3.4 oz.) JELL-O Vanilla Flavor Instant Pudding
1-1/2 cups thawed COOL WHIP Whipped Topping, divided
1 pkg. (10.7 oz.) prepared pound cake, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1/3 cup brewed strong MAXWELL HOUSE Coffee, cooled
1 oz. BAKER'S Semi-Sweet Chocolate, coarsely grated
1 cup fresh raspberries

Instructions

BEAT cream cheese spread in large bowl with mixer until creamy. Gradually add milk, then dry pudding mix, beating well after each addition. Gently stir in 1 cup COOL WHIP.

PLACE half the cake cubes evenly in 8 jars or dessert dishes. Drizzle 1 tsp. coffee over cake in each jar; top each with 1/4 cup pudding mixture and a sprinkle of chocolate. Cover with remaining cake cubes, coffee, pudding mixture, chocolate and COOL WHIP. Top with raspberries.

REFRIGERATE 2 hours.
