Directions

DIRECTIONSLine a 9-inch bowl with plastic wrap and allow the edges to overhang sides. Or use a springform mold that is well sprayed with vegetable oil. Line the bowl or pan with cut Ladyfingers that have been spritzed with the Alkermes or rum. Put half of the chocolate cream in an even layer over the Ladyfingers, then add a layer of Ladyfingers, followed by a layer of half the vanilla cream, and top with another layer of Ladyfingers. Repeat with the rest of the pudding, ending with a layer of Ladyfingers. Bring the plastic wrap up over the top to seal in the flavors of the dessert. Refrigerate overnight.
Unmold a half to one hour before serving. Remove the plastic wrap and, if desired, pipe a decorative border around the edge of the dessert with whipped topping or whipped cream. For a special taste treat, serve with Noccino, a nut-based liqueur.
