How to make coffee crema like at the bar

1. To prepare your cold cream, start preparing the coffee: make the usual espresso with the moka; pour 50 ml of it into a glass jug, melt the sugar inside and leave it to cool completely in the fridge – if you have some ready, all the better.

2. Separately, whip the cream with the help of an electric mixer .

3. Then add the sugared coffee and work again until the mixture is smooth.

4. Then place the cream in a freezer tray and let it freeze for at least a couple of hours .

5. Before enjoying it, work it again with the whisk and serve it immediately. You can dust the surface with cocoa powder if you like

As soon as your cold coffee cream is ready to be enjoyed, work it so that it is foamy. You can serve it in single-portion glasses as it is, with a few tufts of whipped cream, or with a few chocolate-coated coffee beans. If you want you can also add a little liqueur: it will give it an extra touch!

The variant of the water-based coffee cream

For needs, intolerances or diet choices, you can also opt for a version without animal derivatives of the coffee cream: of course you can replace the classic cream with a vegetable version, otherwise we recommend using 50 ml of instant coffee , about 250 ml of ice-cold water and 150 g of sugar . Pour everything into a bowl and mix with an electric whisk until you get a froth (it will take about 10 minutes), then portion and serve cold.

storage

Your dessert can be kept in the freezer , but you have to remember to work it and stir it once or twice a day, so it doesn't become a brick. In the freezer it will keep for several months – but we're sure it won't last that long!
