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!
