Let's get cracking and hop into Easter with our Mini Egg Espresso Con Panna recipe!
You will need
- BEAR Hometown Blend, ground for Espresso (16g) or BEAR Hometown coffee pods (2 pods).
- An Espresso cup or demitasse.
- Mini Eggs (enough to fill an Espresso cup halfway).
- Whipped cream.
- A home Espresso machine or Nespresso® Original compatible coffee pod machine.
- A spoon for stirring (and eating!)
Recipe
- Fill your Espresso cup or demitasse halfway with Mini Eggs. This will leave room for your Espresso and whipped cream on top.
- Weigh out 16g of BEAR Hometown Blend, ground for Espresso. If using a pod machine, use 2 BEAR Hometown coffee pods.
- Extract Espresso (or pods) over the Mini Eggs in the cup. The hot Espresso will melt the Mini Eggs, creating a deliciously rich and chocolately mixture.
- Stir the mixture to ensure that the melted Mini Eggs are evenly distributed.
- Top with whipped cream, adding a further touch of indulgence to your drink.
- Grab your spoon and dig in!
Tips
- Be careful to not overfill the cup with Mini Eggs, however tempting it may be!
- If using coffee pods, make sure to give the mixture a stir in between extracting the 2nd pod to help it melt.
