This pudding was handed down from my husband's 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 I've added to it is the option of using decaffeinated coffee. Ingredients:
1/4 cup sugar |
4 tablespoons king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
pinch salt |
2 cups cold strong coffee |
2 egg yolks, lightly beaten |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream, whipped until stiff |
additional whipped cream, optional |
shaved bittersweet chocolate, optional |
Directions:
1. In a large saucepan, combine the sugar, flour and salt. Stir in coffee until smooth. Cook and stir over medium-high heat until thickened and bubbly. Reduce heat to low; cook and stir 2 minutes longer.
2. Remove from the heat. Stir a small amount of hot filling into egg yolks; return all to the pan, stirring constantly. Bring to a gentle boil; cook and stir 2 minutes longer. Remove from the heat. Stir in vanilla. Cool. Fold in whipping cream. Chill. Garnish with additional whipped cream and chocolate if desired. Yield: 4 servings.
