Happy Happy Tuesday Y’all!!! With my incredibly long absence from this food blog, you might have surmised that I’ve just been super duper busy, and you would be correct. Since the last time that I posted, I have wrapped 1 show, started and wrapped another show, and I have just started a new show and to top it all off, I have been moving all at the same time, with no time off… so basically I have been running around like a crazy person for weeks.
Believe me, I’m not complaining to not having had any time off, when you work in the freelance world, that’s ideal, but I have had little to no time to sleep, let alone write a post haha. So basically, please forgive my long absence and if any of you too, have been burning the candle at both ends, but have a crazy desire for a homemade dessert, well, you’re in luck.
As the title says, this is a 3 ingredient recipe, but don’t let that make you think that this will be lacking in flavor, because oh boy, this stuff is phenomenal. As a coffee and espresso lover, this dessert is so in my wheelhouse. The small amount of espresso used in this recipe gives just the perfect amount of coffee flavor, and the deliciously whipped cream is soo smooth and decadent, droool y’all.
A quick heads up, when you cook the espresso with the sweetened condensed milk, it’s going to be ugly as sin, but don’t worry, it’s delicious and the heavy whipping cream will whip the ugly right out of it haha. Also, since it’s hot as Hades pretty much everywhere, feel free to throw this stuff in the freezer for an easy homemade ice cream, you’re welcome. I hope y’all are all having a fantastic week so far and thank you so much for stopping by.
instant espresso placed into saucepan with sweetened condensed milk…
all cooked together and ready to get chilled in the fridge…
the unattractive looking espresso/condensed milk in your mixing bowl…
heavy whipping cream into your bowl too…
then whisk the heck out of it until stiff peaks form…
then enjoy!!!
- 1-14 Ounce Can of Sweetened Condensed Milk.
- 1 Pint of Heavy Whipping Cream.
- 1 Tablespoon of Instant Espresso.
- In a small saucepan on low-medium heat, cook your sweetened condensed milk with your instant espresso until well combined, less than 5 minutes.
- Place your condensed milk/espresso mixture in the fridge for about 30 minutes or until cooled.
- Now with a handheld or stand mixer with whisk attachment, (I recommend placing your mixing bowl in the freezer for a few minutes before using) pour your heaving cream into your mixing bowl, along with the espresso/milk mixture and whisk until stiff peaks form.
- Serve immediately, or freeze it for a homemade ice cream, and enjoy!!!
