Sweet Coffee Desserts That Make You Drool

Eatable coffee – let’s go again!  

Now that we have filled our tummies with such delicacies as coffee glazed bacon, it is time to get sweet.  
Here are some new flavor combinations to be added to your dessert menu. These are easy to prepare and no special equipment is needed!    

Coffee Ice Cream 

• 480 ml whipping cream (should be the kind you can heat up, fat content ~ 35%) 
• 50 coffee beans 
• 1 can (~ 400 g) condensed milk without additional flavor 
• 1 teaspoon extra fine ground coffee 
• 80 g tahini 

1.    Pour 150 ml cream into a kettle and add the coffee beans. Heat up slowly. 
2.    While heating up the cream, mix condensed milk with tahini and coffee grounds in a bowl that you can put in the freezer later on. 
3.    As soon as the cream starts to vapor, take the kettle off from heat plate. Pour the cream with the coffee beans to a bowl and cool off on an ice bed. 
4.    Whip the rest of the cream (330 ml) until it creates soft tips in the bowl. 
5.    As soon as the coffee bean cream is properly cooled off, sieve the coffee beans off. 
6.    Mix the cream to the tahini, condensed milk and coffee grounds. Make sure you lift the whipped cream gently into the mixture and stir as little as possible to keep the mixture fluffy. 
7.    Freeze at least  for 5-6 hours.
