Cinnamon Espresso Recipes

Steps:

• Cinnamon sugar: In a small bowl, whisk together the sugar, cinnamon and espresso powder. Set aside.
• Churros: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and dust liberally with flour. Set aside. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan or Dutch oven, combine the water, butter, sugar, espresso powder, and salt over medium-high heat. Bring the mixture to a boil. Remove the pan from the heat and, using a wooden spoon, stir in the 1 cup of flour all at once. Return the pan to low heat and stir continuously until the mixture forms a thick dough, about 2 minutes. Transfer the dough to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. With the machine running on medium speed, slowly add the eggs. Continue to beat until the eggs are fully incorporated and the dough is thick, about 4 minutes. Transfer the dough to a pastry bag fitted with a large star tip. Pipe the dough onto the prepared baking sheet in 4-inch long logs.
• In a large heavy-bottomed saucepan, pour enough oil to fill the pan about 1/3 of the way. Heat over medium heat until a deep-frying thermometer inserted in the oil reaches 350 degrees F. (If you don't have a thermometer a cube of bread will brown in a couple of minutes.) Using a thin metal spatula, transfer the dough, 4 pieces at a time, into the hot oil, and fry until dark-golden and crispy, about 3 minutes. Drain on paper towels and roll in the cinnamon-espresso sugar while still hot. Transfer to a serving platter and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Grease bottom and sides of 13x9-inch pan with shortening or spray with cooking spray; coat with flour. In large bowl, beat brown sugar, butter and egg with electric mixer on medium speed until blended, or mix with spoon. Stir in remaining bar ingredients. Spread in pan.
• Bake 20 to 22 minutes or until top springs back when touched in center.
• Meanwhile, in small bowl, mix all glaze ingredients with spoon until smooth and thin enough to drizzle. Drizzle over bars while warm. Cool completely, about 1 hour. For bars, cut into 8 rows by 6 rows.

Steps:

• In a small, shallow bowl, mix together the sugar and cinnamon.
• Add 1 tablespoon of the cinnamon sugar to the espresso and stir until the sugar dissolves. Set aside for a few minutes to cool slightly.
• Dip the rim of a 4-ounce martini glass in heavy cream, then coat with the remaining cinnamon sugar.
• Add ice to a cocktail shaker, then pour in the espresso mixture, Smirnoff® Original Vodka, and remaining tablespoon of heavy cream. Place the lid on the shaker and shake for 1 minute, until very cold.
• Strain the martini into the prepared glass.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Put about 6 or 7 Tablespoons of coffee beans in your coffee grinder.
• Add a small piece of cinnamon stick to the beans. Try a very small piece the first time. The idea is to get the aroma of the cinnamon in the coffee but not taste it fully in the drink. If you are crazy about cinnamon, put in a bit more. Personally, I like to put in a very small sliver.
• Grind the coffee beans and the cinnamon together.
• Make espresso as usual using whatever machine you usually use.
• Add sugar and/or milk if desired.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the coffee granules, water and vanilla. In a small bowl, cream the butter, confectioners' sugar and cinnamon until light and fluffy. Add coffee mixture; beat until smooth. Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
