Eggless Coffee Pudding | Coffee Pudding
Description
The pudding is prepared by first dissolving instant coffee in water and mixing cornstarch with additional water to form a slurry. Milk is brought to a boil, then sweetened with sugar and infused with the coffee mixture. The cornstarch slurry is gradually whisked into the hot milk to avoid lumps, thickening the mixture into a smooth, flowing consistency that will set upon cooling.
This method produces a silky pudding with subtle coffee notes that is soft but holds shape after refrigeration. The texture balances creaminess from the milk and the slight firmness from the starch. Adding chocolate chips on top introduces a contrasting texture and bitterness to complement the coffee flavor.
Serve chilled as a simple dessert. The pudding’s richness and coffee taste make it a suitable treat for coffee lovers wanting a dairy-based, eggless option. Continuous stirring during cooking is important to prevent lumps and achieve a smooth finish.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon instant coffee powder
- 3 teaspoon cornstarch or cornflour
- 2 cups milk or 500 ml, whole
- ¼ cup sugar
- water 2 tablespoon + ¼ cup
- chocolate chips optional, for garnishing
Instructions
- Take instant coffee powder in a bowl, add about 2 tablespoon of water to it. Mix well and keep the mixture aside.
- Similarly, take cornstarch in another bowl and add ¼ cup of water to it. Stir well and keep aside.
- Take milk In a saucepot and start boiling it on medium flame.
- Once the milk starts to boil add sugar and coffee mix. Stir and continue to boil over medium flame until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Now stir the cornstarch slurry once and then gradually add it to the boiling milk while stirring or whisking constantly and vigorously to avoid any lump formation.

- Turn off the flame and transfer the mixture to a bowl and cover with a plastic wrap. Then refrigerate until chilled, at least 2 hours.
- Serve the pudding chilled by sprinkling some choco chips on top.
Notes
- Use full-fat whole milk to maintain a creamy texture; lighter milk may result in a thinner pudding.

- If lumps appear, strain the mixture to ensure smoothness.
- Chill the pudding for at least 2 hours to allow it to set properly before serving.
