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?

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!

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.

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

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.

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!

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.

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!
