My husband (who is my food judge and also a lover of coffee) liked the dessert but said he would add more mocha… For the sake of little ones tasting this Biscoff Mocha Pudding I only have a thin layer of Mocha which is still delicious! However if you prefer a stronger coffee flavor, below is the thicker layer of Mocha version.

4 tablespoons instant coffee granules
1 cup boiling water
2 3.9 oz. packages of instant chocolate pudding
3 cups plus 1 tablespoon milk

Continue to only remove 1 tablespoon of chilled instant coffee to add to cookie crumb base. Also be sure your Instant coffee is chilled before stirring it into the pudding.

Note 2* Growing up without electricity we didn’t have a food processor, Mom would hand me a hammer and her Oreo cookies in a zip-lock bag, and send me to the basement with a concrete floor to crush the cookies. To this day I still crush my cookies with a wooden rolling pin, even though I’m pretty sure I have a food processor hiding somewhere in the kitchen. 🙂
