Ingredients
Instructions
- Put coffee in boiling water and stir to dissolve the instant coffee.

- Combine the coffee mixture with the milk and condensed milk, stir well.
- Pour into molds or serving dishes and chill until set.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using freshly brewed coffee instead of instant. You can substitute the milk with almond or oat milk for a dairy-free version. Ensure the gelatin is completely dissolved in boiling water before adding it to the milk mixture to avoid any lumps. If you want an extra touch, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla extract.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the coffee pudding in individual cups or bowls, garnished with whipped cream or chocolate shavings for an elegant touch. It pairs beautifully with a slice of Heavenly Cheese Cake or some fresh fruit. For a delightful treat, consider serving it alongside a cup of coffee or as part of a dessert platter with other sweet bites.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover coffee pudding in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place in the microwave for short intervals, stirring in between, until warm. However, this pudding is best served chilled, so enjoy it cold as a refreshing dessert.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use flavored coffee for this recipe?
Absolutely! Using flavored coffee can enhance the overall taste of the pudding. Vanilla, hazelnut, or mocha coffee would add a unique twist. Just make sure the flavor complements the sweetness of the condensed milk.
Is there a vegetarian substitute for gelatin?
Yes, you can use agar-agar as a vegetarian substitute for gelatin. Follow the package instructions for the appropriate conversion ratio, as it might differ from regular gelatin. This will help maintain the pudding's texture while catering to vegetarian diets.
Can I make this pudding in advance?
Yes, the coffee pudding can be made a day ahead of time. After pouring it into molds, refrigerate until set. This not only saves time but also allows the flavors to meld beautifully. Just remember to cover it well to avoid absorbing any odors from the fridge.
