                    [post_content] => With summer just around the corner, the first sweet treat you think of is gelato. There’s an endless number of flavours in constant evolution but there is one that never disappoints: coffee gelato!

Delicious and refreshing, gelato is the undisputed king of summer. How many times have you paused in awe staring at the ice-cream counter, not knowing which one to choose from all those trays filled with cream? Not to mention gelato’s delicious versatility: you can have it in a cup, on a cone, topped with whipped cream, in croissants and with crispy waffles.

The recipe for home-made coffee gelato

Gelato is a bit like coffee: they both offer a pleasant break. So why don’t you combine them and use Caffè Vergnano’s recipe? Coffee gelato is quick and easy to prepare and can be made at home from scratch with common household ingredients, either with or without the help of a gelato maker. The important thing is to choose a blend of the finest quality to ensure a unique flavour and aroma.

Ingredients:

           
           

 	
            
            
100ml Caffè Vergnano espresso coffee (about three coffee cups)
 	
            
            
200ml fresh whipping cream
 	
            
            
200ml whole milk
 	
            
            
125g castor sugar
 	
            
            
Coffee beans or dark chocolate chips for decoration

           
           
The steps, with or without a gelato maker

Having a gelato maker at home can always come in handy, but even if you don’t have one you can still make this deliciously fresh coffee dessert in a few simple steps. First, make some coffee with your Moka pot, pour it into a bowl, add sugar to your liking and let it cool down at room temperature. Add the whipped cream and the milk and pour the mixture into a blender, or mix the ingredients together with an electric whisker. Pour the cream into a stainless-steel mixing bowl with high sides and place in the freezer for 30 minutes. After half an hour, remove the bowl from the freezer and whisk the mixture for about 10 minutes. Repeat this process 4 or 5 times every 30 minutes. When the cream becomes thick, you can serve the dessert topped with some coffee beans or dark chocolate chips.

This recipe is even easier with a gelato maker. After preparing the coffee, add sugar, whipped cream and milk, then simply pour the mixture into the gelato maker and set the speed to 1 for 20 minutes. Let it chill in the freezer for half a day before serving.

Puglia Recipe

This recipe from Puglia is an excellent summer alternative worth trying. Mix 1 part of cold coffee and ½ part of almond milk with a shaker. You can use commercial sweetened almond milk or, even better, make it at home with fresh almonds of which Puglia is a big producer. To prepare it, simply mix 150g of peeled almonds with 1L of water for a few minutes. Finally, filter through a strainer pressing the chopped almonds firmly. The taste is pure and delicate. Add an ice cube, shake for a few seconds and enjoy your fresh moment of pleasure.

Orange Recipe

This recipe with orange is a simple alternative for those who have a very sweet tooth. Add 1 part of orange liqueur to 4 parts of hot coffee. Pour into a medium-sized cup, top with a dab of fresh whipped cream and decorate with grated orange peel. The aroma of the coffee beans mixed with the fresh, tangy notes of orange and the velvety whipped cream will be a delightful surprise.

Hazelnut Espresso

Hazelnut espresso is one of the most traditional alternatives to classic espresso. The recipe is very simple, so choosing the finest ingredients is essential. Put 2 teaspoons of hazelnut cream and cocoa powder into a coffee cup. Add a boiling hot espresso and garnish with some whipped cream and a dusting of unsweetened cocoa powder.

Aniseed Espresso

Laced coffee is undoubtedly a timeless classic. Aniseed is perfect at the end of a meal because it combines the invigorating virtues of coffee with the digestive properties of aniseed. To prepare it, add to a boiling hot espresso 1 part of rum, 2 parts of aniseed liqueur and sugar heated with lemon zest. Originating in the 19th century, this beverage is also excellent served cold with a couple of ice cubes and properly shaken.

Calabria Recipe

This list would not be complete without a coffee recipe from Calabria. To prepare it, heat up some Brandy sweetened with brown sugar. In the meantime, finely crush in a mortar a cube of pure liquorice from Calabria. Then mix both ingredients in a boiling hot cup of espresso and savour this scented, digestive delicacy.

Tiramisu
Tiramisu is a classic dessert that goes perfectly with coffee. Whisk 4 egg yolks with 100g of sugar and add 2 or 3 tbsp of Marsala and 330g of mascarpone to the mixture, stirring thoroughly. Dip 200g of ladyfingers into cold coffee and line the bottom of a rectangular baking tray. Alternate a layer of cream with one of biscuits and let the dessert chill in the fridge before serving.

Chocolate cheesecake
Chocolate cheesecake is a deliciously decadent dessert you can serve with coffee. Prepare the base by mixing 200g of crushed chocolate biscuits with 100g of melted butter. Pour the mixture into the bottom of a cake tin and let it cool down in the fridge for at least half an hour. Prepare the cream by melting 150g of chocolate a bain marie. Mix the melted chocolate with 750g of cream cheese. In the meantime, melt 9g of gelatine and add it to 240ml of whipped cream and then to the cream. Pour the mixture over the biscuit base and let it chill in the fridge for at least 5 hours. Once ready, decorate it with chocolate chips.

Chocolates
Traditionally served at the café, chocolates can also be made at home. Melt 300g of chocolate a bain marie and add 150g of whipping cream. Stir well and once thick, pour into a chocolate mould. You can top the chocolates with dry fruits and decorate them to your liking. Now you just have to place them in the fridge and wait until they chill.

Coconut Balls
Coconut balls are perfect with coffee. Melt 30g of butter and add a full tbsp of sugar. Add 100g of grated coconut. Let the mixture cool down so that you can roll it with your hands to form little balls. Place them on a baking tray and put in the freezer to chill for about 10 minutes. Melt 300g of dark chocolate a bain marie. First dip the balls in the melted chocolate and then in the coconut flakes.

Cremini
Cremini are among the best chocolates to serve with coffee. Melt 200g of milk chocolate and add 50g of hazelnut paste. Pour a layer of this mixture into the moulds, filling them up to one-third, and place to chill in the fridge. Now melt 100g of white chocolate and add 25g of hazelnut paste. Pour a second layer of this cream and let it chill again in the fridge. Finally, add the last layer of milk chocolate and place in the fridge for a couple of hours.

                    [post_content] => Do you love coffee and want to use it to make delicious desserts? Discover our dairy and egg free recipes. These three delicious recipes will delight all your guests.

Coffee desserts are appreciated not only by all true coffee lovers but also by those who don’t usually drink it. If you're looking for scrumptious dairy and egg free recipes, these three desserts have been specially created for you:

           
           

 	
            
            
Velvety mousse
 	
            
            
Coffee cream
 	
            
            
Afternoon tea biscuits

           
           
Velvety Coffee Mousse
Do you want to surprise your guests with a delightful dessert? Coffee mousse is ideal to satisfy your sweet tooth at the end of a meal.
You only need a few ingredients and a few minutes. It should be quite easy to find dairy free whipped cream and condensed milk in well-stocked supermarkets. Prepare 25ml of ristretto coffee and place it in the fridge. While the coffee cools down, whip 250ml of fresh cream, just removed from the fridge. At this point, blend the chilled ristretto coffee with 85ml of condensed milk and pour the mixture into the bowl containing the whipped cream. Stir gently to prevent the whipped cream from deflating.
You can either serve the mousse right away or place it in the fridge. For a perfect result, use pretty single-portion cups and decorate your mousse with a wafer.

Coffee Sauce
Coffee sauce is a valid alternative to the mousse. You will need 100ml of coffee, 200g of sugar, 35g of corn starch and 50g of dairy free butter. Mix the powders and add the coffee. Blend in the butter and let the mixture melt on the stove, keeping the flame low. Let it simmer for a minute, then cover the container with cling film and place it in the fridge to cool down. The sauce will be cold after about an hour. At this point, whip with an electric whisk for a few minutes, then serve. Have fun decorating the sauce with a wafer, a biscuit or hazelnut grains.

Coffee Biscuits
If you prefer traditional biscuits to desserts that come on a spoon, this is the recipe for you. To make coffee biscuits, first whip 240g of soft dairy-free butter until light and fluffy and then add 180g of sugar. Blend in three tsp of instant coffee and 340g of flour. Work the dough and allow it to rest in the fridge. After about three hours, remove the dough from the fridge, stamp biscuits out of the chilled dough and arrange them on a baking tray. Put them back in the fridge for about a quarter of an hour, then bake at 170°C or 325°F for 20 minutes. To make your biscuits even more appetising you could give them the shape of a coffee bean.

                    [post_content] => Are you looking for simple, quick and egg free recipes to make coffee cakes? Here you will find two recipes that will amaze even the most refined palates. Put your hands in the dough!

Coffee is an ingredient that is widely used to make cakes, biscuits, mousse, ice cream and many other preparations. Some recipes can be challenging, while others are a lot easier and quicker to prepare. If you are short on time and have just noticed that you don’t have enough eggs in your pantry, here are two recipes with coffee that are simple and quick to prepare.

Coffee Cake with No Eggs

To prepare the coffee cake you need only five ingredients:

           
           

 	
            
            
320g flour
 	
            
            
215g sugar
 	
            
            
160ml coffee
 	
            
            
160ml milk
 	
            
            
A sachet of baking powder

           
           
You’ll prepare it in the blink of an eye. Preheat the oven to 170°C or 325°F, so it will have reached the temperature by the time the mixture is ready. Add the flour to the sugar and baking powder with a sieve so as to prevent lumps from forming in the mixture. Stir in the milk slowly, mixing gently. Finally stir in the coffee. For a richer taste, you can add a couple of handfuls of chocolate drops or chopped hazelnuts to the mixture. Grease and flour a baking tray or line it with greaseproof paper. Pour the mixture into the tray and bake in the oven for about 30 minutes. You can also customise your egg free coffee cake by using a heart-shaped baking tray or one with another design.

Coffee Ciambellone with No Eggs

To make the Coffee Ciambellone you need:

           
           

 	
            
            
320g flour
 	
            
            
55g potato starch
 	
            
            
230g sugar
 	
            
            
90g butter
 	
            
            
140ml coffee
 	
            
            
235ml milk
 	
            
            
A sachet of baking powder

           
           
Make some espresso coffee and, in the meantime, let the butter melt a bain marie. While the butter cools down, mix all the powders in a bowl: flour, potato starch, sugar and baking powder. Add the warm butter and the coffee, making sure that no lumps form. Finally pour in the milk slowly, mixing gently. Pour the mixture into a greased and floured baking ring mould. Bake in the oven at 180°C or 350°F for about 30 minutes.

Coffee cakes are not only perfect to accompany the most famous Italian brew, but also tea, milk or simply on their own. These recipes are ideal at breakfast, as a snack during the day or with your afternoon tea. Have fun experimenting all these preparations with coffee and customising the egg free cakes according to your taste and preferences.

                    [post_content] => Are you looking for a deliciously fresh dessert that you can prepare just a few hours before serving? Coffee pudding is perfect to end a lunch with friends or even as a tasty afternoon snack.

Ingredients for 4 servings

200g cocoa biscuits
30g chopped hazelnuts
30g melted butter
350ml milk
Coffee, to taste
2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
100g sugar
40g corn starch
A leaf of mint per cup
A raspberry per cup

Preparation steps

This is an egg-free pudding, ideal for those who are intolerant to this animal protein or for those who like eating light. This recipe can be made even tastier and crispier if you add a biscuit base.

Prepare 200ml of coffee with a traditional Moka pot. In the meantime, dissolve the corn starch and cocoa powder in a small portion of milk until there are no lumps. Pour the remaining milk into a small saucepan, then add the coffee and the mixture you have just prepared. Place on the stove and add the sugar, stirring and keeping the flame low for a couple of minutes, until the liquid begins to thicken.
Now pour into slightly dampened moulds. Wait until it cools down to room temperature, then place the moulds in the fridge for at least 3 hours.
Meanwhile, you can prepare the crunchy base: use a mixer to grind the biscuits into a powder. Add the hazelnuts and transfer the mixture to a bowl. Add the melted butter and stir until perfectly smooth.
Roll it out on a sheet of baking paper and make some rings with a pastry ring. The diameter of the latter must be greater than that of the moulds previously used for the pudding. Lay the discs on a tray covered with baking paper and place them to chill in the fridge.
Before serving the pudding, place a wafer on the bottom of each cup and the pudding on top.

The round, enveloping flavour of the most popular drink of Italians contrasts perfectly with the crunchy base. For an even more special effect, decorate each cup with a mint leaf and a raspberry.

If you want to prepare a richer version, you can use chopped hazelnuts, or dark chocolate chips, adding these ingredients to the biscuit. Another version includes a dollop of whipped cream or small meringues. However you serve it, this dessert will be a real winner with all your guests, even those who are most difficult to please. During a hot summer day, it will provide fresh moments of pleasure at the end of a meal and may even be served as an alternative to the classic espresso.

            [post_content] => With summer just around the corner, the first sweet treat you think of is gelato. There’s an endless number of flavours in constant evolution but there is one that never disappoints: coffee gelato!

Delicious and refreshing, gelato is the undisputed king of summer. How many times have you paused in awe staring at the ice-cream counter, not knowing which one to choose from all those trays filled with cream? Not to mention gelato’s delicious versatility: you can have it in a cup, on a cone, topped with whipped cream, in croissants and with crispy waffles.

The recipe for home-made coffee gelato

Gelato is a bit like coffee: they both offer a pleasant break. So why don’t you combine them and use Caffè Vergnano’s recipe? Coffee gelato is quick and easy to prepare and can be made at home from scratch with common household ingredients, either with or without the help of a gelato maker. The important thing is to choose a blend of the finest quality to ensure a unique flavour and aroma.

Ingredients:

           
           

 	
            
            
100ml Caffè Vergnano espresso coffee (about three coffee cups)
 	
            
            
200ml fresh whipping cream
 	
            
            
200ml whole milk
 	
            
            
125g castor sugar
 	
            
            
Coffee beans or dark chocolate chips for decoration

           
           
The steps, with or without a gelato maker

Having a gelato maker at home can always come in handy, but even if you don’t have one you can still make this deliciously fresh coffee dessert in a few simple steps. First, make some coffee with your Moka pot, pour it into a bowl, add sugar to your liking and let it cool down at room temperature. Add the whipped cream and the milk and pour the mixture into a blender, or mix the ingredients together with an electric whisker. Pour the cream into a stainless-steel mixing bowl with high sides and place in the freezer for 30 minutes. After half an hour, remove the bowl from the freezer and whisk the mixture for about 10 minutes. Repeat this process 4 or 5 times every 30 minutes. When the cream becomes thick, you can serve the dessert topped with some coffee beans or dark chocolate chips.

This recipe is even easier with a gelato maker. After preparing the coffee, add sugar, whipped cream and milk, then simply pour the mixture into the gelato maker and set the speed to 1 for 20 minutes. Let it chill in the freezer for half a day before serving.
