Coffee liqueur can also be used in baking with spectacular results, so here are a few recipes we’ve tried:

1- FROZEN MUDSLIDE

The Mudslide is one of those cocktails that is often enjoyed as a dessert. All you need to prepare a Frozen Mudslide cocktail is your blender, so you can quickly and easily make several cocktails at once.

A tip: Presentation is key when making a Mudslide. Choose an appropriate glass and take the time to drizzle chocolate syrup inside the glass to really impress your guests.

• 45 mL vodka
• 30 mL coffee liqueur
• 30 mL Baileys
• 3 scoops of vanilla ice cream
• 1 cup crushed ice
• Chocolate syrup

2- TIRAMISU

One of the most famous desserts, Tiramisu is a layered chilled cake. There’s no single recipe, but rather variations using a set of base ingredients that can be represented by different products:

• 160 g powdered sugar
• 50 cl water
• 8 eggs
• 1 kg mascarpone cheese
• 250 g ladyfingers
• 30 cl LICOR CAFÉ BELLO BLANCO
• Unsweetened cocoa powder

These quantities are ideal for 6 to 8 diners. It’s best to prepare this cake the day before. Here’s how we made it:

1. Crack the eggs and separate the yolks.
2. Prepare the mascarpone cream: Mix the sugar and water and cook at 120ºC. Pour the syrup over the beaten egg whites, beating continuously, until it has completely cooled. In a bowl, mix the mascarpone and egg yolks with a wooden spoon, then add the whipped and cooled egg whites.
3. In a rectangular or oval baking dish measuring 19 cm x 24 cm (or an equivalent size), place half of the ladyfingers after quickly dipping each one in LICOR CAFÉ BELLO BLANCO.
4. With a spoon, cover them with the mascarpone cream up to halfway up the mold’s height. Place the other half of the ladyfingers on top after dipping them in LICOR CAFÉ BELLO BLANCO and finish with another layer of mascarpone.
5. Refrigerate the dish for 2 hours.
6. Dust the tiramisu with cocoa before serving.
