This was good even without the Kahlua. Living in Turkey for the summer so made it with finely ground turkish coffee. Would be good with a glazed brulee topping too. -
This was divine. And it was so powerful that I'm going to try it again with two-thirds the sugar, so as to better let the flavors stand on their own.

Delicious - so delicious, the word 'pudding' is lost on them - pots de creme would be so much better. Sophisticated flavour combination - loved the coffee/cardamom blend. I would serve these at a dinner party with a whipped cream rosette and some crisp butter cookies on the side.
