Store the Coffee Pudding in refrigerator for about 2-3 days.
Prepare the Coffee Mousse just before serving: it stays whipped for days, but it dries on top if you store it in refrigerator, even if you covered.

Tips:

This recipe is incredibly easy to make, but I suggest a little tip to well dissolve cornstarch in your Coffee Pudding.

Firstable, if your milk is warm and not refrigerated or room temperature, cornstarch dissolves immediately. I also suggest to pour warm milk gradually: start just with 3-4 tbsp of milk and mix until get a smooth paste, then you can slowly pour all the milk while mixing.

It’s also importanto to stir very often your pudding  while your cooking over low heat and stir it constantly after starts boiling: so you’ll get a smooth and luscious pudding!

The more you cook your pudding, the more it becomes thick, so cook it for at least 6 minutes over low heat after starts simmering to get firm pudding after the refrigerating time.

Coffee Mousse on top has a strong coffee flavor, but thanks to the sugar amount, it’s sweet. If you love strong coffee with low sugar, I suggest to use only 40 g of sugar in this Mousse.
