My mom adores breakfast in bed. Who doesn’t? In fact, she’s got a pretty sweet situation with my father prepping her coffee and bringing in the paper nearly every morning. After 30 years at a job where she had to burst into action at a very early hour, she relishes her mornings of moving a tad slower.
The only way I could see enhancing her caffeine and breakfast-in-bed routine is to shake up that coffee into a different, more celebratory form for Mother’s Day. A well-intentioned fake out, if you will. Hey‚ it’s fun still being her kid and surprising her!
I love puddings because they are easy to make and have star power. They return folks to their childhood and elicit big smiles as well as oohs and aahs. This pudding is particularly light and has a great bitter depth with the addition of fresh coffee grounds.
It’s not going to replace a morning coffee habit, but it’s a fabulous addition to the breakfast-in-bed tradition for any coffee-loving mama.
