Recipes with coffee

I was looking around for a new mocha frappe recipe, and came across this Folger's coffee recipe page. Thought maybe some of you might find something good to try. Coffee and chocolate are perfect for each other, and a few of the desserts sound great!

If any of you have recipes you'd like to share, please do.

tiramisu.

Haven't checked the site yet, but I've heard that coffee is fantastic to crust a steak with.

I've made tiramisu beore (it's probably my very favorite dessert), and couldn't find ladyfingers in this area, so I ended up using pound cake, which worked pretty well, but last week, I found a place to buy ladyfingers! Yayyy!

One of my favs is ....

Plain yogurt, style and brand of your choosing. 1 cup
Instant coffee, I prefer Necafe, but Folgers is okay too 1 measured TBSP or 1 flatware teaspoon
Cocoa, unsweetened powder 1 measured teaspoon, or I keep mine in a shaker so 2 shakes.
sugar to taste.

Stir well, chill in the frig for about 15 minutes for the coffee and sugar to dissolve, stir well again and either enjoy, or pop it in the freezer for an hour or so for a really great mocha semi-frozen yogurt. For added variation I might also add nuts, fruit purees, or mint extract.

Affogato.


Scoops of vanilla ice cream/gelato (or chocolate ice cream), drowned in espresso coffee. You can substitute instant coffee which is made quite strong. Heat it up and pour on the ice cream. This can either be a beverage or dessert.

Check these photos on pinterest.

If you're a Chocophile like me, then before your cash in your ticket, you've got to try this dessert.

I've had Red Velvet, Chocolate Cheesecake, Cocolate Molten Lava, French Silk, Chocolate Fudge Cake, Tiramisu, Devil's Food Cake and Chocolate Satin Cream Pie, but Chocolate Ganache Cake takes the prize.

Though the one I had was chocolate and cream, I found a recipe for coffee flavored cake w/ ganache.

Some I made once. I saw it on Americastestkitchen. You could probably replace the bitter sweet chocolate with a sweeter chocolate.

chocolate mousse

8 ounces of bitter sweet chocolate
2 tablespoons of cocoa powder
5 tablespoons of water
1 teaspoon of instant espresso powder
1 tablespoon of brandy
2 eggs (yolks and whites separated)
1/8 teaspoon of salt
1 tablespoon of sugar
1 cup and 2 tablespoons of heavy cream

Put chocolate,cocoa,water,espresso powder and brandy in a glass bowl that is on top of a pan of boiling water and mix until melted and set a side to cool.In another bowl whisk yolks,salt and half a tablespoon of sugar together.Slowly add chocolate mixture to egg mixture until combined.In another bowl whip the egg whites until a creamy looking and add sugar and whip until soft peaks form.Put in 1/4 of the egg white mixture into the chocolate mixture and then fold in the rest of the egg whites.in another bowl Whip heavy cream until it looks like whip cream.Fold in whip cream to the chocolate mixture until fully incorporated.Put in bowl and refrigerate for a couple of hours.

I might be straying a bit.

I like coffee but I don't like hot coffee. So I usually put ice in my coffee. The downside is that the ice waters down your coffee, thus weakening it's flavors.

At home I pour coffee into an ice tray and freeze it in the freezer. That way I can use coffee ice cubes to cool of my coffee without watering it down.

I buy Lactantia Iced Coffee (although it doesn't taste exactly as I would want it). For iced coffee, the taste of Haagen Daz coffee ice cream, melted, would be what I'd want it to be ......yours is an excellent idea. You can make it the way you want it. I was once able to copycat the Haagen Daz flavor (using Nescafe Instant Coffee and Evaporated milk).
I will try that method.

Although I normally make them with lime, I've also made coffee-flavored flan or custard. I once had a custard (made by someone else) which was so nicely dense - the ones that I make tend to be light and "airy."

I wonder what makes the flan dense, since I also enjoyed that texture?

Flan is great to use for making parfaits, too or trifles. I find it versatile and it keeps longer in the fridge.

Here is my favorite coffee recipe - I make it very frequently.

4 heaping tbs. of granulated coffee
~6 cups of water

place ingredients in coffee maker, press the switch so that it is in the "on" position. Wait a few minutes and serve piping hot in a mug (sweeteners and cream(er) optional, but I always omit these).

I'm sort of picky about coffee I guess. :lol:

I like the girlie stuff, especially with chocolate or mocha, and I like good quality coffees in the light to medium flavor range. Central and South American varieties are what I usually look for. The best coffee I have had ever, was the Blue Mountain coffee in Jamaica. The coffee was the only thing worth going to Jamaica for.

While I can be picky and appreciate a very good cup of coffee, my typical daily consumption is habitual, and I can make do with whatever ground coffee I grab off the store shelf.

When I am indulging in a good cup of coffee I go for bold coffees. Indonesian and African, and at times I have a friend that has family in Hawaii who brings back Kona coffee for me a few times a year.

It's fall so I would be remiss if I did not post a Pumpkin Spice Latte recipe.

I haven't gotten it quite where I want it yet, but at this point it is pretty delicious so feel free to use it and tweak it as you see fit. (And if you discover an improvement, let me know!!)

- 2 TBSP Coffee (or espresso)
- 1 1/2 TBSP Milk (steamed, if possible)
- 1/2 TBSP Cream
- 1/2 TSP Pumpkin Pie Spice (or make your own)
- 2 TSP Honey or Sugar
