Sometimes I have a little bit of coffee left over in the morning; if it is dribs and drabs, I can shamelessly pour it down the drain or if I am in desperate need of a little caffeine hit, I might gulp it down cold! The other day, however, I had quite a bit of coffee left over and I just couldn’t throw it out; then I remembered this dessert we used to have from time to time, way back when!
Saucy Mocha Pudding

Combine in top of double boiler:
1/4 cup Cocoa
1/2 cup Brown Sugar
1/2 cup Granulated Sugar

1 1/2 teaspoons Baking Powder
1/4 teaspoon Salt

1/3 cup Milk

This sounds so good! You did a great job. I thought your presentation was great. The people that posted about how it looked have they never had a HOT fudge sunday! Good grief!
PS Maybe you should have a food stylist next time…lol!!
Yum!
Glad you enjoyed it! Don’t eat it too late in the evening though, right?
This pudding was a favourite of mine as a kid in Canada.I made it a favourite for my kids and now hopefully for my grandchildren! Glad to hear others love it and are still baking it!!
