Raspberry Coffee Crepes

Makes 4

Equipment

• Makes 4

Ingredients

For the coffee whipped cream:

• 2 cups heavy whipping cream
• ½ cup powdered sugar
• 2 tsp instant coffee granules

For the crepes:

• 4 premade 9 inch French style crepes from Melissa's Produce
• 1 pint raspberries rinsed and dried
• Melissa's Produce Raspberry Dessert Sauce for drizzling
• Coffee Coco Snax by Melissa's Produce crushed for topping

Instructions

For the coffee whipped cream:

• Use a chilled whisk/mixer and bowl.
• Pour heavy cream, powdered sugar, and instant coffee into chilled bowl and mix with a mixer at medium speed until fluffy and thick, about 2-3 minutes.
• Chill until ready to serve.

To assemble the crepes:

• Spread a couple dollops of coffee whipped cream on the inside of a crepe.
• Next add a couple spoonfuls of raspberries in the middle of the crepe.
• Roll the crepe and top with a drizzle of raspberry sauce and a sprinkle of crushed coffee flavored Coco Snax. You can also add another dollop or two of whipped cream.
• Sprinkle with extra berries.
• Repeat with remaining crepes and serve right away!

Notes

Feel free to substitute any berries in season! Also you can substitute coffee extract for the instant coffee and crushed chocolate covered espresso beans for the Coco Snax garnish.

For this simple dessert recipe I use three different Melissa’a Produce products. 

The premade crepes are my favorite!

The secret for the perfect homemade whipped cream- use a chilled mixer bowl and whisk/mixer.

I place mine in the freezer for at least an hour. 

First, make the coffee whipped cream. Pour 2 cups heavy cream in the bowl.

Then add powdered sugar and instant coffee.

Mix with a mixer over medium speed until fluffy and thick, about 2-3 minutes.

The perfect fluffy whipped cream!

Chill until ready to serve. 

These extra thin crepes are made by Melissa’s Produce.

I like to use them often for sweet desserts and for savory lunch crepes. 

Start by laying out a crepe on a cutting board.

Spread and smooth a couple dollops of coffee whipped cream on the inside of a crepe.

Next add a couple spoonfuls of raspberries in the middle of the crepe.

Now fold up the crepes. There are two way I like to serve my crepes- rolled or folded into a triangle. 

I decided to roll these filled crepes and serve two per plate. 

Roll the crepe and top with a drizzle of raspberry sauce. 

I like to drizzle a lot all over the crepes and the plate. It also makes a pretty presentation. 

Add a dollop of whipped cream on top and sprinkle of crushed coffee flavored Coco Snax . 

I think using crushed chocolate covered espresso beans would be delicious too.

Sprinkle with extra berries.

Repeat with remaining crepes and serve right away!

It’s Teacher Appreciation Week and my girls have been making so many sweet gifts for their favorite teachers.

From handwritten cards to pretty pictures they always think of thoughtful and one of a kind gifts. But this year we decided to add a coffee themed treat complete with chocolate, a decorated cup, and a gift card. Because we all know most teachers need caffeine and drink a lot of coffee!

These make great gifts year round too but I especially like it for Teacher Appreciation, birthdays, the last day of school, and as a welcome present for the beginning of the school year.

“One child, one teacher, one book, one pen can change the world.” – Malala Yousafzai

Scroll down for details.

My sweet Stella at school this year.

Stella and her teacher Mrs. P, who always pushes her to try harder, share a sweet moment in class.

When I found this cup I knew I had to make a cute teachers gift centered around it!

This simple gift can be customized depending on the recipient and what they like. 

Here’s what I included:

Starbucks gift card

Teaching themed reusable coffee cup 

Handwritten card from their student

A sweet treat like chocolate truffles

A cute themed label and string

First, I had Stella write a thank you card to her teacher. 

Then we added the card, gift card, and truffles to the inside of the coffee cup.

Finally, tie on a Thanks a Latte gift tag and add the cup lid if you have one.

All done and ready to gift!

Labels

I found this cute Starbucks cup label on FeelingNifty.com .

She offers it as a single PDF to download here.

I made it into a Word doc with 4 across that you can also download here but please check out her site above too!

Happy BrunchWeek!

This creamy concentrated coffee is a popular morning drink in our house.

My husband especially enjoys rich and potent coffee so I call this signature beverage of his Dad’s Dalgona Coffee.

If you are a coffee lover too, give this delicious and easy four ingredient drink a try.

It’s National Coffee Day, y’all AND it’s #PumpkinWeek! So naturally I had to share my very favorite copycat fall coffee recipe today.

That’s right, I made a Pumpkin Spice Latte at home with a sauce made with real pumpkin puree. It was absolutely delicious and pretty darn close to the Starbucks version but much cheaper and faster (no drive thru lines!). Scroll down for my recipe and let me know what you think!

I have always been a PSL fan! Now I can make it at home!

Copycat Pumpkin Spice Latte

Ingredients

• 4 oz strong brewed coffee or 2 shots of espresso
• 5 oz warmed milk frothing optional
• 1 tbsp pumpkin spice sauce recipe below
• whipped cream for topping
• cinnamon for topping

For the pumpkin spice sauce:

• 1/4 cup pumpkin puree
• 3 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
• 1 tbsp vanilla extract

Instructions

• Brew your coffee or espresso.
• In a small saucepan add all four of the pumpkin sauce ingredients and heat over med low, stirring continuously.
• Stir the sauce until creamy and just about to boil. Remove from heat.
• I warm my milk for 30 seconds in the microwave and then froth it in my frothing jar. You can also heat on low in a saucepan.
• Now it's time to make your latte!
• Add a heaping tbsp of pumpkin sauce to the bottom of a mug. Keep the remaining sauce in the fridge for another few lattes throughout the week!
• Pour brewed hot coffee on top.
• Then add warmed (frothing optional) milk.
• Stir slightly to combine.
• Top with whipped cream and a dash of cinnamon.

In a small saucepan add all four of the pumpkin sauce ingredients and heat over med low, stirring continuously.

One of my favorite things about this drink is that I use real pumpkin.

Starbucks uses a sugary pumpkin syrup and even though I love their PSL, the flavor of real spiced pumpkin can’t be beat!

Stir the sauce until creamy and just about to boil. Remove from heat.

I warm my milk for 30 seconds in the microwave and then froth it in my frothing jar.

You can also heat on low in a saucepan until warmed but be careful not to scald it.

Add a heaping tbsp of pumpkin sauce to the bottom of a mug.

Pour brewed hot coffee on top. I used about 1/2 cup for a small mug.

Then add warmed (frothing optional) milk.

Stir slightly to combine.

Top with whipped cream and a dash of cinnamon.

Serve right away and enjoy!

Father’s Day weekend was filled with many fun new memories and of course, lots of delicious food!

• 1 tbsp butter optional

Instructions

• Add freshly brewed coffee, brown sugar, and ½ a split open vanilla bean to a saucepan and heat over medium.
• Whisk until smooth and bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Butter adds another layer of richness to this syrup so I like to add 1 tbsp at the end and whisk in until melted.
• If you are using vanilla extract add it with the butter at the end.
• Pour into a jar and serve warm over French toast, pancakes, or waffles.
