Coffee and Cream


Coffee and Cream

This one was an easy dessert that turned out very tasty.

The cream is:
1c Cream
1/2c Milk
1 Vanilla Bean cut and scraped
All of that was simmered for 15 minutes.

The coffee was 100ml Cafe Du Monde made in a french press mixed with 3tbps sugar and 1g sodium alginate and dropped into a calcium chloride bath.

Interestingly, some of the balls failed pretty quickly (a trend for me, it seems) but the ones that survived and then stashed in the cream lasted more than an hour.

For fun I also did some Jack Daniel's caviar on top to 'irish it up'.

Only thing left is to add some color to it.
