Coffee semolina pudding with a chocolate layer is an exquisite dessert embodying the harmony of rich coffee flavor and the velvety texture of semolina pudding. The recipe's origins trace back to European culinary traditions where semolina has been used for centuries to create delicate sweet dishes. This dessert captivates with its contrast—the lightness of the semolina layer is complemented by a thick, rich chocolate sauce. The aroma of coffee adds depth to the taste, creating multifaceted sensations. It is recommended to serve it chilled for the textures of the layers to unfold perfectly. Ideal as a conclusion to a romantic dinner or a cozy family tea time, its refined taste leaves a lasting aftertaste while the preparation process becomes a culinary art.

For the pudding, combine 300 ml of milk, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract in a saucepan, set over medium heat, and bring to a boil. Add 1 teaspoon of instant espresso. Adjust the coffee amount to your taste - you can always add more or less. Stir well. Gradually sprinkle in semolina. Cook the porridge, stirring constantly, for about 7-8 minutes.
