COLD CAKES with POCKET COFFEE, easy and quick single-serving sweets to prepare, a delicious idea to serve after lunch or dinner with coffee and chocolate cream.
I had a half-open box of Pocket Coffee in the fridge (yes, a forgotten Christmas gift 😅) and they were just there staring at me every time I grabbed water. Too few to offer, too many to finish by myself. So I thought: why not make a dessert out of them?
These cold cakes with Pocket Coffee were born, creamy, delicious, perfect to serve after dinner or as single-serving desserts when you have guests. They take 10 minutes to prepare, keep them in the freezer, and that’s it. I used whipped cream and mascarpone as a base, and melted those famous coffee chocolates inside to give that irresistible touch.
You can also use crushed cookies at the base to make a sort of mini spoon cheesecake: in cups, semi-sphere molds, or silicone molds… let your imagination run wild!
Perfect for recycling leftover Pocket Coffee, also great with similar liquor chocolates or coffee-filled ones.

Ingredients

Whip the cream in a bowl with electric beaters, I use the mixer for non-dairy cream.
Add the pocket coffee, the chocolate cream or the whole thing and continue to mix and blend until everything is well combined.
Melt the chocolate in a bain-marie and place it in the mold for cakes, a semi-sphere silicone mold, or in paper cups, put in the freezer for 5 minutes.
