Coffee Pudding + Nescafé® with Coffee-mate® Giveaway!


Even though I love the taste of coffee, I don`t own a coffee machine. Whenever I`m making a coffee recipe, I always need to buy instant coffee packets. Kinda lame, but it`s all in the name of food!

So, I`m not sure if you`ve heard...but Nescafé® and Coffee-mate® are officially married and made some coffee + creamer babies! Okay, maybe not married in the traditional sense. Nor the human babies you`re used to. In the food sense. Coffee + creamer has always been a couple, let`s admit. Nescafé and Coffee-mate have joined forces and are offering 2-in-1 coffee and creamer products! (Giveaway details at the end!)

I used some to make coffee pudding, because why not make pudding with a flavor I love and adore? Also, homemade pudding is actually, super super easy. I was amazed at how fast it took me to finish. I think it`ll take you longer to do your dishes than it is to make this pudding!


I`ve never made homemade pudding before, so I was excited to give this a try. And boy, I should`ve done this sooner! After the chilling time, I ate about 10 spoonfuls before I stopped. I had to take photos before I finished the whole thing...Haha.

This time, I used the new Nescafe with Coffee-mate 2-in-1 coffee and creamer product to make the coffee for this pudding.
