Mocha Cream Recipes

Steps:

• Beat whipping cream and sugar together in mixing bowl until stiff. Dissolve coffee granules in boiling water. Cool. Add to whipped cream and beat in. Makes enough to frost and fill one 8 or 9 inch 2 layer cake. Keep Mocha Cream refrigerated.

Steps:

• Make around 35ml espresso using a coffee machine and pour into the base of your cup. Add the drinking chocolate and mix well until smooth.
• Steam the milk with the steamer attachment so that it has around 4-6cm of foam on top. Hold the jug so that the spout is about 3-4cm above the cup and pour the milk in steadily. As the volume within the cup increases, bring the jug as close to the surface of the drink as possible whilst aiming into the centre. Once the milk jug is almost touching the surface of the coffee, tilt to speed up the rate of pour. As you accelerate, the milk will hit the back of the cup and start naturally folding in on itself to create a pattern on the top.

Steps:

• Make the mocha buttercream: Combine espresso powder and hot water in a small bowl; stir until espresso dissolves. Heat egg whites and sugar in a heatproof bowl of a mixer set over a pan of simmering water, whisking until whites are warm to the touch and sugar dissolves, 2 to 3 minutes. (Mixture should feel smooth when rubbed between 2 fingers.) Whisk egg-white mixture with a mixer on medium-high speed until stiff, glossy peaks form and mixture cools completely, about 10 minutes.
• Reduce speed to medium-low. Add butter, a few tablespoons at a time, whisking well after each addition. Switch to the paddle attachment, and reduce speed to low. Beat in espresso mixture and melted chocolate until smooth, then beat to reduce air bubbles, 3 to 5 minutes. Cover with plastic wrap, and let stand at room temperature until ready to use.
• Make the mocha pastry cream: Prepare an ice-water bath. Combine espresso powder and hot water in a small bowl; stir until espresso dissolves. Whisk eggs, egg yolks, and 1/4 cup sugar in medium bowl.
• Bring remaining 1/4 cup sugar, the milk, vanilla seeds, cornstarch, and 1/4 teaspoon salt to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, whisking constantly. Remove from heat, and gradually whisk one-third of hot-milk mixture into egg mixture. Whisk entire mixture back into saucepan. Raise heat to medium-high, and bring to a boil, whisking constantly. Cook, continuing to whisk, until mixture is thick enough to hold its shape when lifted with a spoon, about 3 minutes.
• Remove from heat. Whisk in butter, 1 piece at a time. Whisk in espresso mixture and chopped chocolate until smooth. Strain mixture through a fine sieve into a bowl. Cover with parchment or plastic wrap, pressing it directly on surface to prevent a skin from forming. Transfer to ice-water bath; let stand until cooled, about 30 minutes. Refrigerate until chilled and firm, at least 2 hours.

Steps:

• Add the heavy cream and instant espresso granules to a large glass mixing bowl. Use a hand mixer to beat together until the espresso dissolves into the cream and stiff peaks form, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Add the sweetened condensed milk to a second glass mixing bowl. Delicately fold the espresso whipped cream into the sweetened condensed milk in 3 increments, being sure the whipped cream is evenly combined before adding more.
• Pour half of the mixture into a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan. Sprinkle the mixture with half of the chocolate chips. Use a spoon to stir and swirl the chocolate chips into the mixture. Top with the remaining mixture and chocolate chips. Once again, stir and swirl the chocolate chips so they are evenly dispersed into the ice cream mixture.
• Cover and freeze until completely set, at least 4 hours or preferably overnight.
• To serve, scoop the ice cream into coffee cups or mugs. Top with coffee liqueur and coffee. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Pour the chocolate syrup and milk into a 16-ounce glass. While beating vigorously with a fork, add the club soda until the glass is three-quarters full. Add the scoop of ice cream and fill the glass with club soda. Serve ice cold with a straw and a long-handled spoon.

• In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, vanilla seeds, cornstarch, salt, and remaining cup of sugar. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, whisking constantly. Remove from the heat; slowly pour about a third of the hot milk mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly until combined. Pour egg mixture back into the remaining milk, whisking constantly. Return saucepan to medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, whisking constantly, until mixture is thick enough to hold a trail when you drag a wooden spoon through it, about 3 minutes.
• Whisk in butter, one piece at a time. Whisk in chopped chocolate and espresso mixture; continue whisking until smooth and combined. Strain the mixture into a large, heatproof bowl. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming. Place in the ice bath until completely chilled, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes.
