I was flipping through pages of Southern Living magazine from last year, when I stumbled upon a suspiciously easy recipe for Dulce de Leche. It was made of sweet tea.
I didn't have sweet tea.
I had coffee.
I always have coffee. That's what wakes me and my Hubby up in the morning.
Except Sundays. That's when our kids wake us up jumping into our bed!
Aaaaaanyways, adventurous baker that I am - I decided to use coffee in the recipe.
Enter Mocha Dulce de Leche.
May I just say: this stuff is gooooood!!
I decided to use it in my next baking project that I will share on Wednesday, but this stuff deserves a post of it's own.
Would you like to save this recipe?
We'll email this post to you, so you can come back to it later!
One thing you should know before making this: letting it cool for at least 12 hours in your fridge ( overnight is the best ) will make it very thick, like the real Dulce de Leche.
Mocha Dulce de Leche
1 c freshly brewed coffee
½ whipping cream
½ c granulated sugar
In a medium saucepan, bring the coffee to a boil.
Add the sugar and whisk until dissolved.
Cook for 15 minutes on medium-low heat, until it becomes syrupy.
Add the cream and whisk until smooth.
The mixture will be very thin but it will thicken up as it cools.
Transfer into a jar and refrigerate 12 hrs or overnight.
makes: about ¾ cup

This is fantastic! My mind is reeling thinking of all the wonderful things I can make with this. Now I am wondering if you are going to make something with this. I much better like the coffee than the sweet tea, so bravo for you on making the change. I was looking for a coffee flavored type of syrup a few weeks ago. Ha-they had bacon syrup but no coffee. Anyhow thanks so much for sharing this!
Crunchy Creamy Sweet says
As soon as I tasted it - I thought the same! Possibilities are endless! I do hope you try it 🙂 Thank you, Tina!
