Lisa’s Espresso Pudding
This Espresso Pudding is typical of Northern Italy, where the winters begin early and the snow can be late to thaw. It’s also a perfectly decadent dessert for a winter afternoon with a coffee or tea. Treat yourself to this Espresso Pudding as we begin to celebrate the holiday season, and even all year round! Watch Lisa make this dessert on the Lisa’s Italian Kitchen YouTube channel here. Buon Appetito e Tutti a Tavola!
Lisa’s Espresso Pudding Ingredients:

4 cups whole milk
3 large eggs
1 cup sugar
1 cup cocoa powder, unsweetened
1/2 cup espresso
Lisa’s Espresso Pudding Directions:
Pour the milk into a medium saucepan, and heat over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, while whisking in one egg at a time.

Whisk in the sugar, stirring it until it dissolves, followed by the cocoa powder and the espresso.

Pour the mixture into 8 small ramekins or pretty wineglasses. Cover each ramekin or wineglass with plastic wrap and refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours before serving the pudding.
