In a large bowl, whisk together the vanilla instant pudding mix and cold milk until thickened (about 2 minutes).
Fold in the mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Prepare the coffee by brewing 1 cup of strong coffee and allowing it to cool slightly.
Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee for 1-2 seconds, ensuring they are moist but not soggy.
In a rectangular dish or serving glasses, begin layering: first spread a thin layer of the pudding mixture on the bottom.
Place a layer of coffee-soaked ladyfingers on top of the pudding mixture.
Spread another layer of the pudding mixture over the ladyfingers.
Repeat the layering process until you run out of ingredients, finishing with a layer of pudding on top.
Smooth the top layer and dust with unsweetened cocoa powder using a fine sieve.
Chill the tiramisu in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours (preferably overnight) to allow the flavors to meld.
Before serving, optionally top with whipped cream for an extra creamy finish.
