Hi Bold Bakers! My Silky Coffee Pudding recipe is one of Kevin’s and my favorite desserts to get out at a restaurant here in Santa Monica. Even after the first spoonful, I knew I wanted to recreate it at home! I’m excited to finally share this amazing dessert with you! Already have an account? If you love a good morning cappuccino, then you have to try this one! This homemade coffee pudding has a rich, deep coffee flavor sweetened with caramel-y dark brown sugar.  This isn’t your typical instant-pudding texture either! It’s so silky that it’s almost fluffy. It is served cold, so it’s an extremely refreshing treat. Top it with some homemade whipped cream and chocolate shavings to really make it feel like a restaurant experience! 

What Is Coffee Pudding?

Coffee pudding is a silky, sweet, coffee-flavored dessert! I make mine with strong black coffee, cream, and dark brown sugar to make it flavorful and creamy.  To make the pudding nice and thick, I add a little cornstarch, and to bring out the coffee flavor and caramel flavor from the dark brown sugar, I add a little salt. It’s a decadent and simple to make dessert!

Gemma’s Pro Chef Tips For Making Silky Coffee Pudding

Use full-fat milk for extra fatty, creamy flavor. Brown sugar is important to add to get the caramel flavoring. If you don’t have any, you can easily make it at home!  Don’t skimp on the salt! It lets all the flavors really shine! Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan, so the bottom of your pudding doesn’t get scorched.  You can make this coffee pudding up to a day before serving, so it has plenty of time to set and firm up.

How Do I Store Coffee Pudding?

Leftover coffee pudding can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
