Coffee Cream
Coffee Cream is a Melt-in-the-mouth, silky smooth dessert, perfect Summer dessert and a definite must have recipe for all coffee lovers – Make-Ahead friendly recipe too !
Who loves Coffee ?? Most people, I think, but I only have a cup .. maybe once every three/four months. Hubby enjoys a cup now and then, the kids – not at all.
This Coffee Cream dessert, however, we have at least once a month !
I Prefer Iced coffee, especially after a visit to the supermarket. I love the one our favorite store sells right at the entrance door, and then of course, some kind of coffee dessert.
It shouldn’t be overpowering but the coffee taste must definitely be there.
My very first food post was actually Coffee Jello’s which I love to make and definitely to eat!
A little of the coffee “sunk” to the bottom (which is now the top after I removed it from the mold) , however, the flavor is a bit stronger in the darker part but still present in the lighter part.

Wow, I wish I could only have one cup of coffee every few months! That recipe looks delicious, I'll have to try it out!
This looks amazing! I love coffee and love desserts. Win-win in my book!
This looks so good! I really like how it looks with how the coffee kind of sunk to the bottom, it's a really nice effect 🙂
I would love it if you would link up at Martha Mondays, open now through Wednesday night!

Thank you! Heading over to your party now – have a great week!
Linda
The layers of this make it beautiful to look at and I'm sure it tastes as good as it looks!
It was the first time I made this and I was quite surprised when I unmolded the dessert! I thought maybe the dark part will be too strong and the lighter part tasteless, but it turned out to be a new family favorite!
Linda
That looks AMAZING! xx
Thanks, Simoney! It was gone in a flash 😉

I make something similar to this,but it's in colors so it needs to set in between layers. This looks amazing, I will try it immediately!!
Thank you – hope you enjoy!

How on earth do you fall asleep at night..? If I drink only one cup after, say, 2pm I'm awake all night..
