In India, where vegetarian desserts are truly treasured, coffee-inspired creations are plentiful, reflecting the age-old tastes modified with the rich, flavorful essence of coffee. This Coffee Day, there are seven coffee-inspired mouth-watering vegetarian desserts that could tickle your taste buds.
7 Coffee-Inspired Dishes To Try Beyond the Classic Cup of Iced Coffee:
1. Coffee Coconut Ladoos
Ladoos are customary in Indian mithai, and coffee brings them some modern impetus. Grated coconut with sweetened milk, cocoa powder, and a dab of instant coffee yields soft, melt-in-your-mouth coffee-flavored coconut ladoos. Crunchier with chopped nuts, they are.
2. Coffee Rasgulla
Rasgulla is the quintessential Bengali sweet, and coffee just ups its ante. Soft fluffy rasgullas are dipped in coffee-scented sugar syrup, creating a wonderful mixture of the sweet tradition with a slightly bitter-sweet taste of coffee.
3. Coffee Rava Cake
In South India, rava (semolina) cake is a household item. The earthy and aromatic flavor combined with the batter is brewed coffee with a bit of cocoa. Top with chopped almonds or cashews for that perfect tea-time delight.
4. Coffee Gulab Jamun
Gulab jamun has been an all-time favorite dessert in India, and coffee takes it to a whole new level. Appear as usual, but soak the gulab jamuns in sugar syrup infused with coffee. A sweetened dessert laden with a sweet aroma of coffee will leave a satisfying sweetness infused with coffee-odored aroma.
5. Mocha Barfi
Barfi is a quintessentially Indian sweet, with a mocha twist that takes it over the top. A rich, fudge-like sweet is made from khoya (milk solids), mixed with sugar, cocoa, and a hint of instant coffee. It can be garnished with pistachios or almonds for resemblance to festival sweets.
6. Coffee Kulfi
India’s traditional ice cream, kulfi, goes well with the flavor of coffee. Prepare the deliciously creamy frozen delight by infusing milk, cream, and condensed milk with coffee. The final touch would be crushed floral-and-flavor-rich pistachios and almonds.
7. Coffee Mousse with Indian Spices
Cardamom or saffron could be added for an Indian flavor to the otherwise international coffee mousse. Whip dairy cream with coffee and sugar, fold in the spices, and chill it. Perfect for any celebration, this dessert is very light but creamy in texture.
