My bookmarks bar is crammed full to overflowing of food blogs. I am so going to weigh 500 lbs. by 2012. Must go now to make Cafe Au Lait Pudding...3

Oh, yum. How 'bout would I be arrested right now if I spiked it with a little tiny bit (ok, a lot) of either Bailey's or Kalua? You know what, I am not even going to wait until I hear from you. I'm just gonna do it. Party at my house!! * http://mothersofbrothersblog.blogspot.com * MOV9

This looks like something special. One question. I see espresso powder or granules in several recipes. Where can I find them? Can I substitute instant coffee instead? Someone please help with that queston please. I live in a small town and no espresso on hand. Thanks :)10

Hi Carla! You should use instant espresso (normal espresso granules would be way too strong!). I found mine at my local grocery store and it was actually store brand--nothing fancy! I bet you could substitute instant coffee in there, too! GL! Thanks, Erika, for featuring the one and only pudding recipe that I'm good at making. You're the bestest!11

Carla, I'm pretty sure you should be able to substitute instant coffee if you can't find espresso powder. The main difference is that espresso powder is usually ground finer and has a deeper roasted flavor. You can boost the flavor by using anywhere from 25% to 50% more regular instant coffee (in this case, up to 2 1/2 to 3 tablespoons instant coffee instead of the 2 tablespoons espresso powder). Instant coffee granules are also larger and may not dissolve evenly if mixed in dry. But this recipe calls for heating the coffee with the milk, so that shouldn't be an issue.12

I really wish I loved coffee, but I just can't stomach the taste. Think I would still enjoy this recipe? It looks so good! I think I have coffee lover envy!13

I love this recipe. I've been looking for something to do with the instant coffee my mother bought for my SO. He hates instant coffee.14

Looks delicious!! I've never heard of or seen {obviously} espresso powder before. Where is available at usually?15

Midwest Elle -- I get espresso powder in the coffee section at the grocery. It's usually near the instant coffee. I love homemade pudding and this sounds delicious! I'll have to try it.16

I think I will have to get some mason jars before I make this. I don't think it will be the same out an ordinary bowl! ;-)17

Coffee flavoured pudding! Are you kidding me? That sounds sinfully delightful. I will have to try this out over the holidays. Do you think I could have it for breakfast or would that be going too far?18
