How to Make Irish Coffee Pudding

  1. Fill a medium saucepan halfway with water and bring to a boil. Grease a soufflé dish (approximately 6-8 cup capacity) and line the sides with greaseproof or parchment paper, extending at least 2 inches above the rim.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together 4 large egg yolks and 1/2 cup granulated sugar using a wooden spoon until light and fluffy.
  3. In a separate small bowl, dissolve 1 packet (about 1 tablespoon) of unflavored gelatin in 1/2 cup hot, freshly brewed strong coffee. Add this mixture to the egg yolk mixture, beating well to combine.
  4. Place the mixing bowl over the pan of simmering (not boiling) water. Continue beating the mixture constantly until it begins to thicken (about 5-7 minutes).
  5. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  6. Refrigerate for about 15-20 minutes, or until the mixture begins to set slightly but is still pourable.
  7. In a clean, dry bowl, beat 4 large egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form.
  8. Gently fold 1 cup heavy cream into the cooled egg yolk mixture.
  9. Add 2 tablespoons of Irish whiskey (or other liqueur of your choice) and mix well.
  10. Gently fold in the whipped egg whites until just combined. Pour the mixture into the prepared soufflé dish.
  11. Lightly oil a small bottle or jar (about 1/2 cup capacity). Press it firmly into the center of the pudding.
  12. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, with the bottle or jar in place.
  13. Once set, carefully remove the parchment paper and the bottle or jar.
  14. Fill the hollow center with freshly whipped cream.
  15. Press crushed walnuts around the sides of the soufflé dish, adhering them to the pudding.
  16. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
