Ingredients with Measurements:
- 1 cup of strong brewed coffee
- 1 cup of whole milk
- 1 cup of heavy cream
- 1/2 cup of granulated sugar

- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
Special equipment needed:

- Whisk
- Mixing bowl
- Measuring cups and spoons

Step-by-step instructions:
1. In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the brewed coffee, whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Heat the mixture over medium heat until it starts to simmer.
2. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water until it forms a smooth paste.
3. Slowly pour the cornstarch mixture into the saucepan with the coffee mixture, whisking constantly to prevent any lumps from forming.
4. Continue to cook the mixture over medium heat, whisking constantly, until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
5. Remove the saucepan from the heat and pour the mixture into ramekins or pudding cups.
6. Cover the ramekins with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until the pudding is set.
