Method written by CompKitchen from the ingredient list. Not the original author's method, not kitchen-tested.

1. Stir the instant coffee granules into the hot water in a small bowl until dissolved, then set aside to cool slightly.

2. In a large bowl, whisk the cold milk and the instant vanilla pudding mix together for 2 minutes, then let stand 5 minutes until thickened.

3. In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth, then gradually beat in the thickened pudding mixture until combined.

4. Fold the thawed Cool Whip into the cream cheese mixture gently until no streaks remain.

5. Quickly dip each split ladyfinger into the coffee mixture for a second so it is moistened but not soggy.

6. Arrange half the dipped ladyfingers in the bottom of a serving dish, spread half the cream mixture over them, then repeat with the remaining ladyfingers and cream.

7. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours until set and well chilled.

8. Just before serving, grate the semisweet baking chocolate evenly over the top.
