]]> So just in case you’re wondering if I’ve been on a coffee recipe kick…yeah…I have been. Being a lover of coffee I do rather enjoy coming up with different ways to enjoy it, especially when summer is imminent and you need a cup of Joe but you also need to cool off too. This eliminates the work behind having to prepare a cup of Joe and also allows you to take a break and cool off on that hot summer day. Just grab your latte popsicles, kick your feet up, and you’re set.

Latte Popsicles

Ingredients

2 – 8 oz cups of coffee (Donut Shop was used for these…Bustello is great too)
1/2 cup milk for popsicle tops + 1/3 cup milk to mix into coffee
3 tsp sugar in the raw for milk + 4 tsp sugar in the raw for coffee

 

Prepare

1. Brew the two cups of coffee.

2. In the meantime, stir milk and 3 tsp sugar together and pour just 1/2 inch into the popsicle mold and place in freezer for at least three hours without popsicle sticks and lids.

3. Mix the coffee, milk and remaining sugar in a medium glass bowl and refrigerate to allow to cool.

4. Take the bowl of coffee out of the refrigerator and stir again to make sure all of the sugar has dissolved.

5. Take popsicle mold out and pour in coffee filling the molds to the top.

6. Place popsicle sticks in and top with the mold lid and allow to freeze for 8 or more hours.

7. Run warm water on the undersides of the popsicle mold, unmold, and place in sandwich freezer bags. Enjoy…daily!

Here is the marriage of two of my favorite food loves, coffee and ice cream…but not in that order of course. Cafe affogato, in all it’s glory of deliciousness, is something I should have come to learn about a long time ago. I discovered the inspiration for this recipe four years ago via Pinterest. For me, growing up involved my old folks and other members of our extended family, coming over, gathering around the dining table and chatting it up on the daily drama and news of the day over some espresso. Now, I will draw attention to the fact that this was done at the very end of the day, after dinner, as a dessert…and somehow everyone managed to still be able to go to sleep just find. Must be a Cuban thing. So cue nearly 30 years later from this time in my childhood as I am now where my family was then so-to-speak, I find myself enjoying espresso at night as well. If you know me well you’ll also know I have a very deep passion…ok I’ll come out and be more honest…obsession with ice cream. Check out my vanilla bean ice cream recipe below. The Italian are geniuses at having invented putting the two together because now I won’t have my espresso any other way. It’s the best of both worlds. Enjoy!

Cafe Affogato

Ingredients

2 shots of espresso (preferably Italian)
1 tsp sugar
2 scoops of vanilla bean ice cream

Prepare

1. Pull two shots of espresso from an espresso maker.

2. Stir 2 tsp of sugar into the espresso vigorously.

3. Scoop two scoops of vanilla bean ice cream into a cup.

4. Pour the espresso over the ice cream. Do not delay…you know what to do from here…DEVOUR and SLURP!
