I might need to make another pan of these brownies…
to make up for the story I am about to share with you!
Good thing tiramisu is my husband’s favorite dessert.
(Honey, if you are reading…you might want to skip this post:-)
My husband’s car broke down about a month ago…
because it needed a fancy expensive piece.
With Christmas break and the kids being out of school,
we really didn’t have a huge need for 2 vehicles, so he
waited to purchase the piece.
Last week he ordered the piece and anxiously waited for it…
because he really does like driving his cool red car.
But when this piece was finally arrived and he put it in…
the car still didn’t run.
Wanna know why?
The gas gauge is also broken.
Turns out the car was just out of gas:-)
He says he tweaked a few wires while he was out there
filling up the gas tank…just in case that was it.
But it was 15* out and dark…
kinda hard to see said wires!
I’m going with the “it was just out of gas” option.
Because it started right up after that.
Oh he is never going to live this one down!!!
Lots of laughing has been going on over here.
Even if it costs me a hundred more pans of brownies…
I’m totally going to remember and savor this moment!
It’s good to have one of these moments on my side.
He has way too many of my “moments” on his side:-)
Brownies topped with a cheesecake pudding mix and coffee soaked cookies are the perfect ending to an Italian dinner.
Ingredients
1 brownie mix (for a 9x13 pan)
1/2 c. milk
4 Tbsp. instant coffee, divided
1 c. sour cream
1 box cheesecake pudding
1 (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened
1 (16 oz.) container of cool whip, divided
2 1/2 c. hard lady finger cookies, broken into chunks
1/2 c. hot water
cocoa powder
Instructions
- Bake brownies according to the package using the 2 egg directions. Let cool completely.
- Dissolve 2 Tbsp. coffee in the milk. Whisk in the pudding mix and set aside. Beat the cream cheese in another bowl. Add the sour cream and beat again on low speed. Fold in the pudding mix and half of the cool whip.
- Dissolve the other 2 Tbsp. coffee in the hot water and drizzle over the cookie chunks. Spread a fourth of the pudding mix over the cooled brownies. Lay the cookie chunks on top of the pudding. Cover with the rest of the pudding mixture. Top with the other half of the cool whip. Dust with cocoa powder. Refrigerate leftovers.
Notes
*I used a hard coffee cookie in place of the lady fingers. I found them at our local Meijer...the brand is Stella D'oro-Margherite cookies.

Never had tiramisu but I can think of a reason to try it now! These look divine

These look amazing! I’m wondering about the cheesecake pudding mix. Is it the instant pudding powder?
Hi, Christina. Yes, it is a box of instant pudding.
Tiramisu is my favorite! I don’t have it very often, but this looks easier than the standard version!

First time making and was a total hit. The only change I made was that I used a mocha brownie mix. I will definatly make this again since it is my husbands new favorite dessert and it is so easy to make:)
Woot woot!!! I am so glad you guys liked it
