- Beat the shortening, brown sugar, white sugar, egg, vanilla and milk until fluffy
- Stir the flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder and instant coffee. Add to sugar mixture and mix thoroughly

Ingredients
- 1 package of Jell-O® brand vanilla instant pudding (2.5 oz.)
- 1 package of Jell-O® brand chocolate instant pudding (2.5 oz.)
- 3 ½ cups of milk.
- 1 cup of drip coffee, chilled. (Any house blend will do, just don’t use a flavored coffee.)
- Whipped cream in a can for garnish.
- Three bowls, and serving dishes for the pudding.
Directions
- Follow the directions on the package for preparing the vanilla pudding: add 2 cups of cold milk and pudding mix in a bowl and whisk for two minutes.
- In a separate bowl, prepare the chocolate pudding. The directions call for 2 cups of milk. Instead, put in 1½ cups of milk and ½ cup of chilled coffee and pudding mix in a bowl and whisk for two minutes.
- Transfer about 4 tablespoons of the vanilla and 4 tablespoons of the chocolate pudding to a third bowl.
- Add 2 more tablespoons of coffee to this batch. Whisk this batch.
- It should appear a few shades lighter than the chocolate pudding’s color. Discard the remainder of the coffee (or drink it).
- Serves 2-3
