recipe tips
For a smoother mix, blend the ingredients in a food processor until well combined and fine in texture.
Try different types of milk powder, such as goat milk powder or coconut milk powder, for unique flavors.
Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the mix for a warm, spiced version.
If you're using a sugar substitute, check the conversion ratio, as it may differ from sugar.
Store the mix in small batches to preserve freshness and flavor over time.
Consider layering the ingredients in a clear jar for a visually appealing gift.
Always stir the coffee mix well before using to make sure the flavors are evenly distributed.
For a creamier texture, mix the coffee with hot milk instead of water.
common recipe questions
Can I use other flavors of pudding mix?

Why use instant vanilla pudding mix in coffee creamer?
The instant vanilla pudding mix adds a rich, creamy texture and sweet vanilla flavor to the coffee, enhancing the overall taste and making it more indulgent.
Can I use sugar substitute instead of sugar?
Yes, you can use a sugar substitute in place of regular sugar. Choose a substitute that is heat-stable and suitable for baking or hot beverages, and adjust the quantity according to the sweetness level you prefer.

To make a decaffeinated version, simply use decaffeinated instant coffee powder instead of regular instant coffee.
Can I use flavored coffee creamer for an extra flavor boost?

creamy and delicious! made it with vanilla pudding the first time and then tried both chocolate and cheesecake pudding mixes. BEST. EVER.
Can I make this keto-friendly by leaving the sugar out?
Most of the ingredients are not keto-friendly so you'd have to make lots of modifications. The milk powder and coffee should be ok but the pudding mix, even sugar free, has a lot of starch in it as does the coffee creamer.

The pudding does not readily dissolve. Itâs not a great ingredient. Powdered vanilla is available as well as the liquid which you could add after brewing and it would be a better choice.
Maybe it's the brand you used? It dissolved fine for us with just a little stirring. The pudding adds a real creamy element that you wouldn't get from powdered vanilla.

I use more instant coffee in the mix and less dry milk powder. I like the vanilla flavor and the pudding makes it kinda creamier I think.
