Top 7 Delicious Coffee-Based Dishes with Simple Recipes You Can Make at Home

Making coffee jelly isn't complicated, but it requires focus to achieve the best results.

Ingredients:

• 25g agar powder
• 1 teaspoon gelatin powder for a firmer texture
• 150ml coconut milk
  
• 120ml whole milk
• 250g white sugar
• 50g condensed milk
• 50g coffee powder, brewed coffee, or instant coffee
• 2 liters of cold water

Instructions:

• In a large pot, combine agar powder, gelatin, sugar, and cold water. Cover and let the mixture rest for 20 minutes.
• After 20 minutes, bring the mixture to a boil. Prepare another pot. Once boiling, turn off the heat and transfer half of the mixture to the second pot. Place both pots on the stove to cook simultaneously.
• Add coffee to the first pot. In the second pot, mix in coconut milk, whole milk, and condensed milk. Stir both pots continuously until they boil, then remove from heat. This step creates the rich coffee layer and the creamy coconut layer. Ensure both pots are handled quickly and evenly.
• Use molds, bowls, or cups to layer the coffee and coconut mixtures alternately, depending on your preference and creativity.
• Allow the jelly to cool, then refrigerate for 2 hours before serving.
• Store leftovers in the fridge for 3–4 days without losing flavor.

Among the various types of layered cakes, the coffee-flavored version has gained popularity for its unique blend of rich coffee aroma and the creamy sweetness of coconut milk. However, mastering the recipe is key to achieving the perfect taste. Don’t worry—Mytour will guide you through the process below.

Ingredients:

• Tapioca starch: 200g
• Rice flour: 50g
• Pure coffee: 50g
• Sugar: 200g (adjust to taste)
• Coconut milk: 300ml
• Salt: 1/2 teaspoon
• Cooking oil

Instructions:

• Step 1: Prepare the batter:
  • In a large bowl, mix sugar, coconut milk, and salt until fully dissolved.
  • Once dissolved, sift tapioca starch and rice flour into the bowl.
  • Divide the batter into two equal parts. Sift coffee powder into one part and mix thoroughly until the coffee is fully incorporated. This completes the preparation of the batter for steaming.

• Step 2: Steam the cake:
  • Prepare a steamer and bring the water to a boil. While waiting, grease the cake molds with oil to prevent sticking.
  • Layer the white and coffee batter alternately into the molds, about 1cm per layer, to create an attractive pattern.
  • Place the molds in the steamer and steam for about 7 minutes. To check if the cake is done, insert a toothpick—if it comes out clean, the cake is ready. Your coffee layered cake is now complete!

Ingredients:

• Pure coffee
• A box of sweetened yogurt
• 15ml condensed milk
• Crushed ice
• Glass
• Spoon

Instructions:

• Step 1: Brew pure coffee according to your preference and the number of servings. This step is crucial for making whipped coffee yogurt.
• Step 2: After completing Step 1, you can prepare the coffee yogurt in different ways. Below are three popular methods you can try:
  • Method 1: Simple approach: No blender or shaker is needed. Fill a glass with crushed ice, add condensed milk and yogurt until the glass is nearly full. Finally, pour the coffee over the top, and your whipped coffee yogurt is ready to enjoy.
  • Method 2: Using a blender: For a smoother blend, use a blender. Combine yogurt, condensed milk, and ice in the blender, then blend until smooth. Pour the mixture into a glass, add some crushed ice, and top it off with coffee.
  • Method 3: Using a shaker: Similar to Method 2, add yogurt, condensed milk, and ice to a shaker. Shake well, then pour into a glass. Add a bit of crushed ice and coffee on top. Mix well before serving. Now you know how to make whipped coffee yogurt!

Ingredients:

• 1.5 cups of coffee beans
• 26g - 52g brown sugar
• A mixture of whole milk and heavy cream (half and half)
• A few mint leaves
• Tools: ice cream molds, wooden sticks

Instructions:

• Step 1: Grind the coffee beans into a fine powder. Place the powder in a large jar, add 720ml of filtered water, stir well, and let it sit for 12-24 hours. Then, filter to extract the coffee liquid. (Alternatively, you can use hot water and a phin for faster brewing). Add brown sugar to the coffee and dissolve it.
• Step 2: Place a few mint leaves into the ice cream molds. Add the milk and cream mixture, filling about one-third of the mold. Place the molds in the freezer until slightly firm.
• Step 3: Remove the molds, insert wooden sticks, and return them to the freezer for about 20 minutes to set.
• Step 4: Take the molds out, pour the brewed coffee into them, and freeze until completely solid.

Flan, also known as caramel custard, is a dessert with European origins, made primarily from eggs, milk, and caramel. Over time, it has gained popularity worldwide, including in Vietnam, where it is cherished as a delightful treat among the younger generation.

Ingredients:

• 20g coffee
• 3 eggs
• 100g sweetened condensed milk
• 400ml fresh milk
• 150g white sugar
• 1 vanilla pod

Tools: Non-stick pan, sieve, mixing bowl, flan molds, whisk, aluminum foil, steamer

Instructions:

• Step 1: Brew 20g of coffee using a phin filter with 60ml of hot water. Once the coffee has fully dripped, set the brewed coffee aside for the flan mixture.
• Step 2: Prepare the caramel by heating 100g of white sugar and 50ml of the brewed coffee in a pan over medium heat. Stir until the mixture thickens and turns amber in color. Pour a thin layer of caramel into the molds.
• Step 3: In a mixing bowl, combine 3 eggs, 50g of white sugar, 100g of condensed milk, 400ml of fresh milk, and 1 vanilla pod. Whisk the mixture gently in one direction to avoid breaking the structure. Strain the mixture through a sieve for a smoother texture.
• Step 4: Pour the flan mixture over the caramel layer in the molds. Cover the molds with aluminum foil and steam for 40 minutes. Avoid moving the steamer during this process to prevent uneven cooking.
• Step 5: Once cooked, let the flan cool and refrigerate. When serving, gently loosen the edges with a knife and invert the mold to release the flan. Add crushed ice for a refreshing touch.
