 Ingredients

For the Pudding

• 2 cups (500 ml) whole milk
• 1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• 2 tbsp instant coffee
• 2 tsp unflavored gelatin powder
• 3 tbsp cold water
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

For Garnish

• 2 tbsp chopped roasted peanuts or almonds

 Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Bloom the Gelatin

In a small bowl, combine the gelatin with the cold water. Let it sit for 5 minutes until it absorbs the water.

Step 2: Heat the Milk

In a saucepan, combine the milk, heavy cream, sugar, and instant coffee. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring until the sugar and coffee dissolve. Do not let it boil.

Step 3: Add the Gelatin

Remove the saucepan from the heat. Add the bloomed gelatin and stir until it completely dissolves. Mix in the vanilla extract.

Step 4: Strain (Optional)

For an extra silky texture, pour the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer.

Step 5: Fill the Glasses

Divide the mixture evenly among serving glasses or dessert cups.

Step 6: Chill

Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the pudding is fully set.

Step 7: Garnish & Serve

Sprinkle chopped roasted peanuts or almonds over the top just before serving. Enjoy it chilled!

 Tips

•  Use your favorite instant coffee for a stronger or milder flavor.
•  Full-fat milk and heavy cream create the creamiest texture.
•  Add a little cocoa powder for a mocha twist.
•  Garnish just before serving to keep the nuts crunchy.
•  Chill overnight for the best consistency.
