Old Fashioned Coffee Pudding

This recipe is too delicious to be kept secret!

Who said coffee was only for drinking? Nobody! And thankfully because tons of recipe ideas to make with our favorite elixir exist and we intend to share our best discoveries with you!

Let's get started with this coffee and chocolate pudding! We bet you will not be able to resist!

This old old old pudding recipe was transmitted to a friend by his great-grandmother. To give an idea of how old this recipe is, it was translated from her German script found in an old ledger when she'd collected favorite recipes from her friends. It's a bona fide and delicious "antique". The only modern touch that we've added to it is the option of using decaffeinated coffee... but if you are a REAL, there is no need! 

Let's get to the point and here's the secret recipe! But Shhhttt! Don't share it with no one! Yummy!

    1/4 cup sugar

    1/2 cup heavy whipping cream, whipped until stiff
