Cafe Au Lait Recipes

Steps:

• Brew coffee. Heat milk, almost to a boil.
• Pour coffee and hot milk, preferably simultaneously, into large cups or mugs.
• Sweeten to taste. If you like the frothy finish that traditional steam infusers give to cafe au lait, whirl the hot milk in a blender (or use a whisk or hand mixer) before filling cups.

Steps:

• Add the milk to a 2-cup mason jar. Add 1 teaspoon of caramel syrup if using and close the lid tightly. Shake the jar until foamy, about 1 minute. Remove the lid and microwave the foamy milk until hot, about 1 minute.
• Pour the hot coffee into an 8-ounce mug. Top the coffee with the hot milk and spoon over some foam. Drizzle with caramel syrup if desired.

Steps:

• Heat half-and-half or whole milk over low heat. Pour coffee into milk. Combine sugar and cocoa in the coffeepot. Pour the hot milk and coffee back into the coffeepot and stir to combine. Serve.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Heat the milk, cream, sugars, espresso, vanilla and salt in a medium saucepan over low heat until just boiling. Remove from heat. Whisk the egg and yolks in a measuring cup and temper by mixing in a small amount of the cream mixture into the eggs before adding the rest of the cream mixture.
• Pour into 4 (4-ounce) ramekins and arrange on a baking dish. Fill the baking dish halfway with very hot water but not boiling, being careful not to splash water into the ramekins. Put in the oven and bake until the edges are set, but the center is still a little wobbly, about 20 to 25 minutes. Remove immediately from the water bath to a baking dish filled with ice to chill quickly. Keep refrigerated until serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 275 degrees F.
• Combine heavy cream, half-and-half, vanilla bean, and sugar in a 1-quart heavy saucepan. Heat over medium-low heat until mixture reaches 180 degrees F. Stir in instant coffee until dissolved. Place egg yolks in a heat-proof bowl and temper the yolks by gradually adding some of the hot cream mixture. Return the egg mixture to the pan with the remaining cream mixture. Stir in the vanilla. Strain custard and then ladle 5 to 6 ounces into 8 custard cups or ramekins. Bake, covered, in a water bath for about 40 minutes or until set. Check at 30 minutes; you may need to reduce the oven temperature to 250 degrees F for the remaining 10 minutes. The centers should not be firm. Cool to room temperature and then refrigerate if not serving right away. Bring to room temperature before serving. Garnish with whipped cream.

Steps:

• Mix the coffee and chicory.
• Using your favorite coffee maker (a manual drip model is traditional in New Orleans), brew the coffee mixture with 1 1/2 cups water heated to the point just below boiling.
• Pour the coffee equally into 3 eight-ounce coffee cups or 2 twelve-ounce coffee cups and fill each with the same amount of cream (the ratio of coffee to cream should be 1:1).
• Serve immediately with sugar, if desired.

Steps:

• Sprinkle gelatine over milk in blender container; let stand 1 minute.
• Add coffee; cover. Blend on low speed 2 minutes or until gelatine is completely dissolved. Add sugar, cocoa and vanilla; cover. Blend on high speed until well blended. Add ice cubes, 1 at a time, covering and blending on high speed after each addition until ice is melted. Pour evenly into 6 parfait glasses.
• Refrigerate 2 hours or until set. Top with whipped topping just before serving.

Steps:

• Whisk together milk, coffee granules, cornstarch, 1/4 cup sugar, and a small pinch of salt in a heavy medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally, then boil 1 minute, stirring constantly. Transfer to a metal bowl set in an ice bath and cool, stirring often, about 10 minutes. Pour into cups or ramekins and chill, uncovered, 20 minutes.
• Beat cream with vanilla and remaining 2 tablespoon sugar using an electric mixer just until soft peaks form. Spoon whipped cream onto puddings and dust cream lightly with cinnamon.

Steps:

• Blend milk in a blender in 2 batches until frothy (use caution when blending hot liquids). Divide coffee among 8 large cups and top off with hot milk.

Steps:

• Bring the water almost to a boil, to a temperature of 204-208 degrees F.
• Using a drip-style coffeemaker with filter, pour a small amount of the water over the coffee grounds to dampen them, then wait 30 seconds.
• Pour more water over the grounds until the upper pot container is full.
• Allow to drain, then repeat until all the water is used.
• Scald, do NOT boil, the milk. This means to heat it until JUST below the boiling point.
• Pour coffee into warmed large mugs, then add the milk.
• Add sweetener if desired and serve.

Steps:

• CRUST:.
• In a medium-sized bowl, combine the butter cookie crumbs, sugar and butter.
• Blend well with pastry blender.
• Press the mixture into the bottom and sides of a well-buttered 10-inch springform pan. Chill in the freezer or fridge for about 30 minutes.
• Soften the gelatin in the 1/2 cup cold water.
• In a small saucepan, combine the egg yolks and sugar and gradually stir in the whipping cream.
• Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring until thickened enough to coat a metal spoon.
• Remove from the heat and stir in the softened gelatin.
• In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese until very smooth and creamy, then add the vanilla and continue to beat until very smooth and creamy.
• Add the gelatin mixture to the cheese mixture and beat until smooth.
• Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or until the mixture is set.
• In separate small mixing bowls, whip the heavy cream and beat the egg whites until stiff, then fold both into the cream cheese mixture.
• In a small saucepan, heat the instant coffee dissolved in water, and the coffee liqueur, stirring until smooth.
• Add the coffee mixture to the cheese mixture and beat until very smooth and creamy.
• Pour into the chilled springform pan and refrigerate for 3 hours, or until cake is set and firm.
• Carefully remove the sides of the springform pan, transfer cake to a serving dish, and serve.
