Coffee syrup is a great way to add a sweet and intense note to your desserts. Perfect for drizzling over vanilla, chocolate, or even caramel ice cream, this syrup is also delicious in hot or cold drinks. Easy to prepare, it allows you to add a touch of caffeine to your frozen creations.
Ingredients :
- 200 ml of strong coffee (preferably espresso)
- 150 g of sugar
- 50 ml of water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Preparation :
- Prepare the coffee
. Make a strong coffee. An espresso is ideal for an intense flavor, but you can also use a strong filter coffee. - Mix the coffee, water, and sugar.
In a saucepan, combine the coffee, water, and sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring gently to dissolve the sugar completely. - Cooking the syrup:
Once the mixture begins to boil, reduce the heat slightly and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, until the syrup reduces and thickens slightly. The mixture should become more syrupy, but not too thick. - Add the vanilla (optional)
. Off the heat, add the vanilla extract if you wish to slightly soften the taste of the coffee and give it an extra aromatic touch. - Let it cool.
Allow the coffee syrup to cool completely before pouring it into an airtight bottle or jar. It can be stored in the refrigerator for several weeks.
My Personal Tip:
I love using this coffee syrup to drizzle over frozen yogurt or vanilla ice cream, but it's also perfect for swirling chocolate ice cream with Ninja Creami. For an even more decadent dessert, you can stir it into a frozen milkshake or add it to refreshing drinks like an iced coffee. If you really want to impress your guests, pour this warm syrup over coconut ice cream for an irresistible hot-cold contrast!
Here is a simple homemade coffee syrup, ideal for adding a rich and sweet touch to your Ninja Creami ice creams or for enhancing drinks and desserts.
