Directions
Whisk the instant coffee into some hot water in a big bowl until it’s fully dissolved. Then pour in the milk, sprinkle in the pudding mix, and add a dash of cinnamon. Give it a good stir and let it sit for about five minutes so it can thicken up. Once it’s set, gently fold in the whipped topping to keep it light and fluffy. To serve, layer a few cubes of cake in a bowl and spoon the creamy chocolate truffle mixture over the top. Enjoy!
