FAQs

Can I use regular brewed coffee instead of instant coffee?

Instant coffee is recommended because it dissolves easily and won’t add extra liquid. However, you can substitute 1 tablespoon of instant coffee with 1 tablespoon of strong brewed coffee, but reduce other liquids slightly.

Can I make this dessert ahead of time?

Yes, this no bake dessert improves with time. Prepare it a day ahead to allow flavors to meld and the layers to set properly.
