- 3/4 cup sugar ๐ฌ

Instructions
-
Prepare the Mixture:
In a double boiler, combine the salt, cinnamon, cornstarch, sugar, and milk. Mix well to ensure the dry ingredients are fully integrated into the milk. ๐ -
Cook the Base:
Stir the mixture constantly over medium heat until it starts to thicken. This will take around 5-7 minutes. The mixture should be smooth and free of lumps. ๐ฒ -
Incorporate the Eggs:
Carefully pour 1 cup of the hot mixture into the beaten eggs, stirring constantly to avoid scrambling the eggs. This process is known as tempering. ๐ก๏ธ -
Combine and Thicken:
Pour the egg mixture back into the double boiler, adding the chocolate chips. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the pudding thickens to your desired consistency. This should take an additional 5 minutes. ๐ซ -
Add Coffee and Vanilla:
Remove the pudding from the heat. Stir in the instant coffee granules and vanilla extract until fully dissolved and incorporated. โ -
Set the Pudding:
You can serve the pudding warm, but if you prefer it cold, pour it into serving dishes, cover with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. โ๏ธ -
Garnish and Serve:
Just before serving, top each portion with a dollop of whipped cream, a sprinkle of cinnamon, and if desired, a splash of Kahlua. This adds an extra layer of flavor and elegance to your dessert. ๐ฆ๐น -
Enjoy!
Indulge in your Coffee House Pudding and let the rich, creamy flavors transport you to a coffee lover’s paradise. Each bite is a delightful mix of chocolatey goodness and coffee richness, perfectly complemented by the sweet whipped cream and hint of cinnamon. ๐ฎ
Tips and Tricks
- Double Boiler: If you don’t have a double boiler, you can create one by placing a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water. Ensure the bottom of the bowl doesn’t touch the water.
- Tempering Eggs: To avoid curdling the eggs, make sure to add the hot mixture to the eggs slowly and stir constantly.
- Serving Options: This pudding can be served warm or cold, depending on your preference. Warm pudding has a more liquid consistency, while cold pudding will set firmer.
- Make Ahead: This dessert can be made a day in advance and kept in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Variations
- Mocha Pudding: For a mocha twist, add 1-2 tablespoons of cocoa powder to the dry ingredients.
- Caramel Coffee Pudding: Drizzle caramel sauce over the top before serving for an added layer of sweetness.
- Nutty Delight: Add a handful of chopped nuts, such as hazelnuts or almonds, for a crunchy texture.
Fun Fact
Did you know that coffee was first discovered by a goat herder in Ethiopia? According to legend, he noticed his goats acting unusually energetic after eating the berries from a certain tree.
