#### 3. **Add the Coffee**

This should only take about **5-7 minutes**, so stay close to the stove and keep an eye on it.
#### 5. **Serve and Enjoy**
Once the mixture has thickened, remove it from the heat. If you’d like, you can pour it into small cups or ramekins for individual servings. Let it cool for a few minutes, and you’re ready to enjoy a rich, comforting dessert.
You can also chill it in the fridge if you prefer a cold dessert, but this treat is just as delicious served warm. For an added touch, you can sprinkle some **cocoa powder**, **cinnamon**, or even a dollop of **whipped cream** on top for extra flavor and flair.
