Espresso Recipes

Italian Cookie

A little unusual in both ingredients and combination, but these mini-cupcakes are a sure winner at my mom's office! Created for a healthy baking/cooking seminar I am presenting on Feb 6. Prep time includes cooling time for cupcakes.

A filling and frosting recipe I devised for some Valentines day cookies. Works equally well as a doughnut filling!

These are insanely powerful cookies that I adapted from an Eric Vellend recipe in the Toronto Star. They've got both a full tablespoon of each ground espresso AND Kahlua in them - they'll keep your party lively for sure!!

No idea if these are good, but I've heard wonderful things - my friend is making them tomorrow and I wanted to see how many calories before I ate one!

It was a long day and I needed coffee but I didn't want a hot drink and I didn't need the sugar from a Frap so I made my own version at home. I used FROZEN BLACK CHERRIES for this...no additional sweetener, plain frozen cherries and I used 2 shots of espresso rather than brewed coffee. Add the Crushed Ice to the blender last to get it the consistency you'd like.

A delicious recipe that is easy to expand to feed any group!
