Tiramisu Bowl

Feel like staying in, but experiencing a taste of Italy? By making this dessert you'll feel as if you were standing in the middle of the Spanish Steps!

Ingredients:

One package of cream cheese

Cold Milk (3 cups)

Two packages of vanilla flavored pudding mix and pie filling. (Instant works great if you're in a hurry)

One Tub of Cool Whip

Two boxes of NIlla Waffers (50 are going to be needed for the recipe)

One cup of fresh raspberries

One half cup of coffee brewed strong

One package of Bakker's semi-sweet baking chocolate (Only two of the squares in the package will be used)

Instructions:

The point of this dessert is presentation, presentation, presentation! So, the ideal bowl to be placing this in is a large clear one, this way the dessert is able to be viewed by all who are sitting at the table.

First: Take the cream cheese and the place it in a large bowl. Using an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese until it is creamy and soft. Now, add in the pudding mixes and two cups of whipped topping. Stir everything together.

Second: Take 25 of the Nilla Waffers and spread them evenly throughout the bottom of the clear bowl. Pour half of the coffee over the Nilla Waffers that were just placed on the bottom of the bowl. Over this place half of the mixture made in step one, it consisted of cool whip, pudding mix, and cream cheese.

Third: Using only one of the pieces of chocolate, shave it using a sharp knife. The shavings should be very small so that many shavings come from only one piece. Put the shaved chocolate on top of the mixture from step one that was just added to the bowl. Now, put 25 more waffers on top of everything. Then add the half of the cup of coffee. Next, add the other half of the pudding and whip topping mixture as well.

Fourth: Shave the second piece of baker's chocolate and add it on top of everything else in the bowl. Place the raspberries over the top and in the center place some more whipped topping. Cool for three hours in the refrigerator and then serve!

Make sure that any left over dessert is kept in the refrigerator.

If you do not like COFFEE, all of the COFFEE can be substituted with CHOCOLATE MILK!
