🍌 Banana Pudding Tiramisu 🍮

Prepare the coffee mixture: In a shallow dish, combine the cooled coffee with rum or coffee liqueur, if using. Set aside.

Assemble the tiramisu: Dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture, quickly soaking both sides. Arrange a layer of soaked ladyfingers at the bottom of a 9x9-inch dish.

Layer with pudding and bananas: Spread half of the cooled banana pudding over the ladyfingers. Arrange a layer of sliced bananas on top of the pudding.

Add the mascarpone layer: In a large bowl, beat the mascarpone cheese until smooth. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then fold it into the mascarpone. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the bananas.

Repeat layers: Add another layer of soaked ladyfingers, followed by the remaining banana pudding, bananas, and mascarpone mixture.

Chill & serve: Cover the tiramisu and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results. Before serving, dust the top with cocoa powder and garnish with additional banana slices if desired.

Enjoy: Serve chilled and enjoy this delightful twist on a classic Italian dessert! 🍌🍮
