FAQs – Dessert Coffee Recipes For Coffee Lovers
100% Yes!!! Coffee, both in liquid and ground forms, takes to baking very well. In addition to being a standout flavor, coffee complements many other ingredients/flavors making it highly versatile.
Italian espresso is usually the most common coffee used when baking. If you are looking for a stronger coffee, you can reduce the liquid to the ground ratio when brewing. Or try cooking down the coffee to enhance the flavor.
If you have coffee left over from the morning, don’t pour it down the drain. Leftover coffee is perfect for baking a variety of desserts. From cookies to cakes and pies, you can use that leftover coffee to create tasty desserts. Most coffee dessert recipes call for the coffee to be cool, perfect for leftover coffee.
