At this time of year, I don’t know about you, but my cooking revolves around gourmet recipes (as you’ve already seen with my latest chocolate bar recipe) or cheese-based recipes of all kinds. In fact, I served this Chocolate and Coffee Cream dessert recipe after a mac and cheese.
Finally, there was also a delicious clementine sorbet. You can always make soups and mixed salads, but on this particular evening, I really needed something sweet and gourmet.
Initially, I was going to make a chocolate cream, but I had the idea of adding a full-bodied espresso. It really was the idea of the century (or at least of the week!), because it was so good!
For the coffee, I wanted to try a real espresso. It works very, very well. As I didn’t want to risk liquefying my preparation too much, I used my espresso machine.
I did what I would have done to make a double coffee, but I only used it for the equivalent of an espresso. The result was a well-concentrated coffee, perfect for this fragrant but not too runny dessert.

Speaking of espresso machines, have you ever used a Delonghi coffee machine, for example?
I’ve heard good things and I’m quite intrigued because I’m delighted with mine from the same brand, which takes up little space and makes delicious coffee, but I’d be tempted…
You will also see that in this recipe I used 4 egg yolks and I can already see your question coming! But what to do with egg whites?
Well, I’ll tell you the answer in the next episode… Don’t hate me… but I’m sure you have a good idea, it’s easy!

- Let them cool, cover them then refrigerate them for at least 10 hours.
