Cafe Au Lait Pudding

This super-easy recipe rounds out the recipes for this summer. You can create this in just a few minutes without forsaking your tan.

Ingredients: (Makes enough for 2-3 people)

• 1 package of Jell-O® brand vanilla instant pudding (2.5 oz.)
• 1 package of Jell-O® brand chocolate instant pudding (2.5 oz.)
• 3 ½ cups of milk.
• 1 cup of drip coffee, chilled. (Any house blend will do, just don’t use a flavored coffee.)
• Whipped cream in a can for garnish.
• Three bowls, and serving dishes for the pudding.

Directions:

Follow the directions on the package for preparing the vanilla pudding: add 2 cups of cold milk and pudding mix in a bowl and whisk for two minutes.

In a separate bowl, prepare the chocolate pudding. The directions call for 2 cups of milk. Instead, put in 1½ cups of milk and ½ cup of chilled coffee and pudding mix in a bowl and whisk for two minutes.

Transfer about 4 tablespoons of the vanilla and 4 tablespoons of the chocolate pudding to a third bowl. Add 2 more tablespoons of coffee to this batch. Whisk this batch. It should appear a few shades lighter than the chocolate pudding’s color. Discard the remainder of the coffee (or drink it).

Presentation:

Layer in cups or parfait glasses. Refrigerate for five minutes. Garnish with whipped cream before serving.
