Here’s a simple recipe for a No-Bake Nescafé Pudding that’s easy to make and doesn’t require an oven:
Ingredients:
- 1 packet of Nescafé instant coffee (or 1-2 teaspoons of instant coffee granules)
- 2 cups milk (whole milk or any milk of your choice)
- 2 tablespoons sugar (adjust based on your sweetness preference)
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch (for thickening)
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional for flavor)
- 1/4 cup heavy cream (optional, for extra creaminess)
- Whipped cream or chocolate shavings for topping (optional)
Instructions:
- Dissolve the Coffee:
- In a small bowl, dissolve the Nescafé instant coffee in a few tablespoons of hot water (about 2-3 tablespoons). Stir well and set aside to cool.
- Prepare the Pudding Base:
- In a saucepan, combine the milk, sugar, and cornstarch. Whisk together until smooth.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring it to a gentle simmer. Keep stirring constantly to prevent lumps and to ensure the cornstarch dissolves fully.
- Add Coffee Flavor:
- Once the mixture thickens to a custard-like consistency (about 5-7 minutes), remove it from heat.
- Stir in the dissolved Nescafé coffee and vanilla extract (if using). If you want the pudding extra creamy, you can also mix in the heavy cream at this point.
- Cool the Pudding:
- Pour the pudding mixture into serving cups or bowls.
- Allow it to cool to room temperature for about 15 minutes, then transfer it to the refrigerator. Chill for at least 2 hours to set properly.
- Serve:
- Once chilled and set, top the pudding with whipped cream or chocolate shavings if desired.
Enjoy your rich and creamy No-Bake Nescafé Pudding! This dessert combines the smooth texture of pudding with the bold flavor of coffee for a delicious treat.
