Instructions
Pudding
- 1In a medium saucepan, whisk together the cooled strong brewed coffee, sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and sugar.
- 2In a small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in 2 tablespoons of cold water to create a slurry. Add this slurry to the coffee mixture in the saucepan.
- 3Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and begins to simmer, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
- 4Pour the pudding into 6 individual serving dishes or ramekins. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface of the pudding to prevent a skin from forming. Chill for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until set.
Whipped Cream
- 1In a cold mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream, confectioners' sugar, and vanilla extract.
- 2Beat with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form.
Assembly
- 1Once the puddings are thoroughly chilled and set, top each with a generous dollop of whipped cream. Serve immediately.

Tips
- For an authentic Thai coffee flavor, consider adding a pinch of ground cardamom and star anise to the coffee while brewing.
- Stirring the pudding constantly is key to a smooth, lump-free texture and prevents scorching on the bottom of the pan.
- Garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon, a few coffee beans, or a chocolate-covered espresso bean for an elegant touch.
