Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups (480 ml) heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) strong brewed coffee, cooled
  • 1/2 cup (60 g / 2.12 oz) powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup (50 g / 1.76 oz) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml / 0.2 fl oz) vanilla extract
  • 1 package (3.4 oz / 96 g) instant vanilla pudding mix
  • Maraschino cherries or chocolate shavings, for garnish
  • for Perfect Pudding
  • For a firmer, more authentic mousse-like texture, chill the puddings in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before garnishing and serving.
  • The coffee must be completely cooled before blending. Adding hot or warm liquid can prevent the cream from whipping properly and affect the final texture.
  • Experiment with different instant pudding flavors. Chocolate or butterscotch pudding mix can create delicious variations on this simple recipe.

Method
 

  1. In a large blender, combine the heavy whipping cream, cooled brewed coffee, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and the instant vanilla pudding mix.
  2. Blend on a low to medium speed until the mixture is smooth and begins to thicken, about 1-2 minutes. If you have a smaller blender, you may need to do this in two batches.
  3. Immediately pour the mixture evenly into four parfait glasses or small dessert bowls.
  4. Let the pudding sit for at least 5 minutes to allow it to fully set and firm up.
  5. Just before serving, garnish each pudding with a generous dollop of whipped cream and a maraschino cherry or a sprinkle of chocolate shavings.
  6. Don't over-blend!
  7. Mix just until the are combined and the pudding starts to thicken. Over-mixing can sometimes make the mixture too dense.
