sugar
2 tablespoons (none)
boiling water
1/2 cup (none)
cream cheese
1 (8 ounce) package (softened)
powdered sugar

2 (3 ounce) packages (split lengthwise)

Instructions
1
In a small bowl, combine instant coffee granules, sugar, and boiling water. Stir until dissolved and set aside to cool.
2
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until it's light and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes.
3
Gradually add in the powdered sugar and continue to beat while slowly pouring in the whipping cream. Beat until the mixture forms stiff peaks, which should take about 6–8 minutes.
4
Gently fold in 2 tablespoons of the cooled coffee mixture into the whipped cream, being careful not to deflate it.
5
Prepare the ladyfingers by splitting them in half lengthwise. Place half of the ladyfingers in the bottom of a 9-inch square pan (cutting them if necessary to fit snugly).
6
Drizzle half of the reserved coffee mixture over the ladyfingers to soak them.
7
Spread half of the cream cheese mixture over the ladyfingers, creating an even layer.
8
Sprinkle half of the grated semi-sweet chocolate over the cream cheese layer.
9
Repeat the layering process with the remaining ladyfingers, drizzling them with the rest of the coffee mixture, followed by the remaining cream cheese mixture, and topped with the remaining grated chocolate.
10
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 to 4 hours, or overnight for best flavor.
