Directions
Mix the instant coffee into some hot water in a large bowl until it’s fully dissolved. Then stir in the milk, pudding mix, and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Let this sit for about five minutes to thicken up. Next, gently fold in the whipped topping, being careful not to deflate it. When you’re ready to serve, place a few cubes of cake into each dessert bowl and spoon the chocolate truffle mixture over the top. Enjoy!
