It’s no surprise that when I saw the edible cookie coffee cup on NPR, I immediately began searching for a recipe. If I had to pick my favorite dessert, it would be a cookie. My favorite beverage is easily coffee, and now I know there is some magical place in the world where I can have my cookie on the outside.
Sign me up!
So next I thought about cookies, and how I don’t exactly own an awesome cup mold. However a muffin tin has a cup-ish shape, so…
More googling, which brought me to a Taste of Home recipe detailing how cookie dough could be pressed into a muffin tin, baked and used as an edible dish for ice cream.
The world does not get better, I realized. This is going to be deliciously awesome.
All of this inspiration brought me to the great cookie, coffee, chocolate experiment.
First there was the peanut butter cookie cups. I used a tried and true Betty Crocker peanut butter cookie recipe. It’s simple, easy and the cookie I grew up with so I know what to expect. Next I made a chocolate ganache using Savory Sweet Life’s recipe for the chocolate layer. Then I topped it with a scoop of coffee ice cream. (Yes, I would make it if I owned an ice cream maker.) Finally for the final taste of sweet delicious-ness on this new treat, I whipped together a little caramel topping.
Yep, so that’s all I’m going to be eating for the next six days.
You can string out eating it for six days?
Pictures or it didn’t happen!
It did happen, it just didn’t look that pretty. Maybe I’ll whip some more up this weekend and make ‘em fancy enough for the internets. ^_^
