* 1 teaspoon instant espresso powder (recommended: Medaglia D'Oro)
* 1/3 cup warm water
* 1/3 cup orange liqueur (recommended: Grand Marnier)
* 16 to 24 ladyfinger cookies
* 1 (1-ounce) box sugar-free cheesecake flavored instant pudding mix
(recommended: Jell-O)
* 1 3/4 cups milk
* 1 teaspoon orange extract
* Cocoa powder, for dusting
In a shallow bowl, stir espresso powder into 1/3 cup warm water until dissolved. Stir in orange liqueur. Dip ladyfingers into espresso mixture and line the sides of 4 parfait or wine glasses; set aside.
Note - If you can't find lady fingers, use those little shortcakes you find near the strawberries. I put them in the bottom of ramekins then ladeled the coffee / liquor over them, topped with pudding (I used regular, not sugar-free), and voila.
In a large bowl, whisk together pudding mix, milk, and orange extract for 2 minutes. Divide pudding mixture among the lady finger-lined glasses. Let sit for 5 minutes.
Dust tops with cocoa powder and serve.
