Crazy Cups Chocolate Raspberry Truffle

July flavor of the month’s #Flavor Nation Crazy Cups coffee is Chocolate Raspberry Truffle this is a medium roast coffee with a luscious combination of tangy raspberries and dark chocolate. This is perfect as raspberries are in season and I have a large patch on the side of my driveway which the bees have been busy with. There are many ways to use coffee beside drinking it and I would like to share a recipe I made using this coffee

Ingredients

1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened

1/2cup powdered sugar

2tablespoons light rum or 1/2 teaspoon rum extract

1cup whipping (heavy) cream

1package (3 ounces) ladyfingers, (12 ladyfingers) or Sponge Cake, Pound Cake

1/2cup cold prepared espresso or strong coffee ( I used Crazy Cups coffee)

2 teaspoons baking cocoa

Directions

1 Beat cream cheese and powdered sugar in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Beat in rum on low speed; set aside.

2 Beat whipping cream in a chilled small bowl on high speed until stiff peaks form. Fold into cream cheese mixture.

3 Split ladyfingers horizontally in half. Arrange half of the ladyfingers, cut sides up, on the bottom of the ungreased square pan, 8x8x2 inches, or round pan, 9x1 1/2 inches. Drizzle 1/4 cup of the espresso over ladyfingers. Spread half of the cream cheese mixture over ladyfingers.

4 Arrange remaining ladyfingers, cut sides up, on cream cheese mixture. Drizzle with remaining 1/4 cup espresso. Spread with remaining cream cheese mixture.

5 Sift or sprinkle cocoa over top. Cover and refrigerate about 4 hours or until filling is firm. Store covered in the refrigerator.

 

Now I can focus and brainstorm

My Opinion: The dark chocolate and raspberry is a great combo and reminds me of my favorite candy bar I buy and works well in baking.
