This year’s UK Coffee Week saw the launch of the world’s first Espresso Spread, a caffeine-packed spread designed for livening on your morning toast. With 35g of coffee per 285g jar, the commercial brand has a slightly bitter, caffeine-heavy taste that’s designed to appeal to adults only. We’ve come up with a couple of variations for a slightly less intense alternative.
Coffee breakfast spread recipes
Creamy chocolate and coffee breakfast spread
You’ll need:
- 150g low fat cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon sugar, or to taste
- 1 teaspoon instant coffee
- 30g good quality plain chocolate
What to do:
Gently melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl with short burst in the microwave. Allow to cool slightly, then add in the cream cheese and coffee. Taste, and add sugar to your liking. Add a little more instant coffee if you prefer a bigger caffeine hit. This spread will need to be kept in the fridge, and should be used within a week.
Coffee bean breakfast punch
This one’s slightly more serious, and contains real coffee beans for a caffeine hit.
You’ll need:
- 230g mascarpone
- 1 tablespoon sugar, or to taste
- 50g good quality plain chocolate
- 30g roasted espresso beans
Start by grinding the beans. If you don’t have a coffee grinder, use a food processor and continue to grind until you have a very fine powder. Melt the chocolate in the microwave and allow to cool, then mix together all the ingredients. Add the sugar a little at a time, to taste. This spread needs to be kept refrigerated and should be used within two to three days.
