Prepare pudding according to box direction.
Add cheese and coffee liqueur and beat until smooth.
Cover with plastic wrap and chill 1 hour.
Fold in whipped topping.
In a small shallow dish, stir sugar into coffee and dip each ladyfinger in for only 4-5 seconds (letting them soak too long will make them fall apart).
Line bottom of 8 cup trifle bowl with 1/2 of the lady fingers, spread 1/2 of pudding mixture over cookies and sprinkle with 1/2 of the chocolate; repeat layers.
Cover tightly and chill for 4 hours or overnight.
