Members' comments
JulieO -  It didn't 'set' as such but was a nice creamy dessert. Only made half the recipe as only 2 of us tonight and it made enough to fill 2 glasses.  Quite refreshing really and served with a swirl of whipped cream and some chocolate shards. Will make again for sure. Thanks again isi.

JD - Thanks for your photo JulieO - mine is the same colour as yours which is a tad lighter than isi's.  Mine also didn't 'set' as much as I thought it would but I agree with you, it was nice and light - a great finish to a meal.  Maybe a bit more cornflour next time would make it a little firmer? I will definitely be making this again. Thanks isi.

cathy79 - I served them in coffee liqueur glasses.  Made 4 nice size serves. It was very light, not too rich, so quite refreshing.  Would be nice to try with some liqueur added, or a chocolate version would be nice too. Very easy recipe.  Made it at about 5pm and it was ready for dessert at about 8:30 so good timing.

VHJ - I made a mocha (chocolate & coffee) version & everyone loved it. My boys have requested a straight chocolate version to compare. Lovely easy recipe Isi. Thank you.

MJ - Just a point about cornflour. Isi's maize flour is different from our corn flour. The one we get (Nurses) is actually wheaten cornflour. I think if you use proper cornflour made from corn, you may find it makes the custard set better.

VHJ - I used "real" cornflour & it was still "wobbly" but delicious.

Chookie - What we are making is a coffee custard, which will wobble, for a firmer set I think gelatin would have to be used.

JD - Wobbly is good once you get used to it.  We are so used to our custards setting here and because this one is different, we tend to think there is something wrong.  A bit of variation never goes astray and it is the lightness of this one that I love.

Georgie  -I just tried a chocolate (with cocoa ... any real chocolate doesn't last long in this house when I buy it) version of this - yum!! Well, it's actually for dessert tonight but I just sneaked a spoonful. I didn't have as much cream as I thought, only about 70g, so I made the rest up with coconut cream as I'd already put everything else in. Mmm, this one's definitely a keeper! I reckon it has a similar texture/taste to Yogo (a popular chocolate dairy dessert over here) - kids love it! and grown-ups too ... I think next time I'll have to make a choc batch for the kids and the original coffee one for the grown-ups.

cathy79 - Georgie, I made a double batch the other night and cooked for 12 minutes.  Then you can add all the cream, whiz, pour half out add cocoa, whiz, pour into glasses to serve.  Then pour back in the first half and add coffee, whiz, pour into glasses to serve.
Saves "cooking" two batches.

I've just made a chocolate batch and a coffee batch as well.
Chocolate - I used 20g of cocoa instead of coffee using the EDC custard recipe as a guide.  Mixture tastes perfect, so will see once it's cold. I have an experiment going too.  I put half a serve of chocolate in the freezer while making the coffee batch.  Once the coffee batch was ready, I carefully poured it on top of the chocolate using a spoon to help layer the flavours. The layering definitely worked and looked really nice. Would be even better if the colours were more different.  Maybe honeycomb and chocolate?

JD -  Yu could make one layer a plain vanilla flavoured 'cream', leaving out either the coffee or the chocolate.  Or (oh the possibilities are endless) use white chocolate in one batch and dark choc in the other.

Chookie - Had this today and DIL suggested it would make a lovely base for Tiramisu.   Think it is worth a try.
This is one of our all time favourites. DIL loves it so make it when she comes and extra for her to take home. Thanks Isi.

rainbow - Tried this recipe last night and an absolute winner, will be on our favourite list, thanks Isi.

JD - Made this again yesterday for a visitor today but as I had no cream in the fridge, decided to do a bit of tweaking.  I used 20g cornflour, 375g can light evaporated milk, 265g skim milk, 55g sugar, 1 good tablespoon coffee granules and the 2 eggs.  It set perfectly with no wobble and my guest thoroughly enjoyed it.

versaceyoyo - Isi - I made this dessert tonight and it was very easy and tasted very nice.  I like this recipe because you don't end up with a heap of left over egg whites or egg yokes either but it is quite mousse-like.  Nice and simple.

AmandaN - Yes, I like that it uses all the egg too. I like to make a chocolate and kahlua variation.

Dizzygirl - As I have some berry coulis left from Christmas Day, I was wondering if I could add this instead of coffee? Or am I better off adding vanilla essence and then pouring the coulis over it when served?

Chookie - I make this often as it can be made several days ahead.  I think it is too soft to pour berry syrupy over.  You could add vanilla and swirl the berry through it.

snappy - I had no cream so I have just made this using JD's tweak.  I also changed it to 1 tbsp cocoa and 2 squares dark chocolate instead of the coffee.  Just had a quick taste when it was still hot and it is like a chocolate custard.
Update - It came out just like Choc yogo!  So DH was very impressed. Only thing is that it does form a skin when cooling like custard so I would cover with gladwrap next time otherwise it is perfect.  It will be a staple around here.

I made this today to have after tea.  It didn't 'set' as such but was a nice creamy dessert.

Luckily my son had a jar of decaffeinated coffee as we don't drink instant, but there was still enough coffee flavour. 

Only made half the recipe as only 2 of us tonight and it made enough to fill 2 glasses.  Quite refreshing really and served with a swirl of whipped cream and some chocolate shards.

Will make again for sure. Thanks again isi.   ;D

Juhuuuu
I can not understand what  "set" means???
I imagine it has to do with consistency??
I started making this cream with 20 grams of flour but it seamed more like a pudding than a cream for that reason I reduced the flour!
So it is easy to adapt to any persons taste ;)

Beautiful Foto Julie .... eyes also eat :)

Thank you bough for doing it - I am very happy

For us it is a very nice and light finish for dinner too :)

Post by: judydawn on January 08, 2010, 11:35:55 am
Yes set is to do with the consistency isi.  Mine wobbled a bit like jelly, it wasn't firm like custard for example.  It really doesn't need to be 'set' a lot more, just a little so a bit more cornflour should do the trick.

I made these last night and served them in coffee liquer glasses.  Made 4 nice size serves.

It was very light, not too rich, so quite refreshing.  Would be nice to try with some liquer added, or a chocolate version would be nice too.

Very easy recipe.  Made it at about 5pm and it was ready for dessert at about 8:30 so good timing.

Post by: judydawn on January 10, 2010, 02:48:51 am
The chocolate version crossed my mind too Cathy, it would also help to thicken it up a little as it gets cold.  Some dulce de lechy added for a caramel one too - another versatile recipe from isi.

I halved the total recipe (so they would be very small serves -dieting!!) but accidently added the full tablespoon of coffee so just added a tablespoon of good quality drinking chocolate.
Title: Re: LIGHT COFFEE CREAM "QUICK DESSERT"
Post by: cathy79 on January 11, 2010, 01:42:01 am
Hmm, that sounds good.  And a plain chocolate version would also be suitable for little kids.  Will have to try.
Title: Re: LIGHT COFFEE CREAM "QUICK DESSERT"
Post by: judydawn on January 11, 2010, 01:54:58 am
I was thinking along the lines of blitzing some chocolate to start with then adding that instead of the coffee later. When it sets it may have a slightly less wobbly appearance (?)
Title: Re: LIGHT COFFEE CREAM "QUICK DESSERT"
Post by: isi on January 11, 2010, 10:21:09 am
Today I will try 100% chocolate version!
I will use chocolate bar with 70% cocoa (very dark) - spray-speed 10 - maybe 20 grams!?!
I tell you about the results!

Post by: judydawn on January 11, 2010, 10:42:24 am
I made the chocolate version this morning and had one for dessert tonight.  I only had a mixture of milk & white chocolate in the house so used both (only 70g) and used 15g cornflour.  It was really nice, tasted different of course but looked just like the original one and wobbled just the same. Obviously you have to use a lot more chocolate to stop the wobble but I am beginning to like it so am not going to play around with it much more.

This is so funny!
 :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
I'm here taking my breakfast when you talk about the dinner you had!

So you think I have to put 70 grams of chocolate to be perfect???
Title: Re: LIGHT COFFEE CREAM "QUICK DESSERT"
Post by: judydawn on January 11, 2010, 10:51:29 am
It's up to you isi, 70g was all I had in the house, probably would have used a bit more if I had it. 70g makes it the same texture as your original so if you are happy with that texture, go for it.  It tastes really nice but then so did the coffee one - just nice to be able to vary it sometimes.  I can see my grand-children preferring the chocolate one though so they will be the testers tomorrow. 
Title: Re: LIGHT COFFEE CREAM "QUICK DESSERT"

Ok - so I will put 100 grams of chocolate - hehehehe

Great ideaCathy79. Did you notice how much darker isi's was to JulieO's (mine looked like JulieO's) so if you could get one batch of each colour,the contrast would be fairly marked.   Or make one layer a plain vanilla flavoured 'cream', leaving out either the coffee or the chocolate.  Or (oh the possibilities are endless) use white chocolate in one batch and dark choc in the other.

Yes I noticed Isi's is much darker - it's the colour of my chocolate one, and my coffee batch matches JulieO's in colour.  The layering definitely worked and looked really nice.  And I was very happy with the amount of cocoa.  I took it to my parents for dinner last night and everyone loved it.  Another recipe to email mum.

Good idea to do white chocolate and dark chocolate.  That would look fantastic.

In case you didn't see my posting on another thread (I was a little excited :-)) :-))), I today turned this recipe into ice-cream and it is so good I will not need to buy Peters Light & Creamy ice-cream anymore.  Today I did a chocolate version, replacing the coffee with 100g grated dark cooking chocolate to get a lovely rich colour. It doesn't set hard like a lot of other recipes or sorbet so just pour it into a freezer friendly container and spoon it out with ease when it sets a few hours later.

For a vanilla flavoured ice-cream I will swap the coffee for vanilla essence or vanilla paste.
For a fruit ice-cream I will swirl some strawberry or raspberry coulis through the mixture before it sets too much.
For coffee ice-cream, well that is the recipe as it stands.

The possibilities are endless and I am one happy little chappy today thanks to you, dear isi. :-* :-* Does life get much better than this  ;) ;)

I don't know about intelligent Chookie :P :P :P but I love ice-cream and have been looking for something as easy and as soft as this one turned out.  I will start a new thread for it under Ice-cream as Julie suggested. Is isi in for a shock when she wakes up later and logs on to see what has happened to her recipe.

Post by: cathy79 on January 18, 2010, 08:06:19 am
Wow, I guess it worked!  That's great.  Can't wait to try a few of your ideas.  Could also do caramel swirl or chocolate mint. 
Judy, I can picture you walking down the freezer section of Coles looking at the ice-cream flavours, purely for inspiration now, and not buying!

This is one of our all time favorites. DIL loves it so make it when she comes,  and extra for her to take home.   thanks Isi.

I think I will make this today.
As I have some berry coulis left from Christmas Day, I was womdering If I could add this instead of coffee?

Or am I better off adding vanilla essence and then pouring the coulis over it when served?

Thanks

Either would work DG, it is only added at the end so you could do half and half to see which you preferred.

GF,  I make this often as it can be made several days ahead.  I think it is too soft to pour berry syrupy over.  You could add vanilla and swirl the berry through it.   Have made it for visitors on Friday.

Thanks for that, Chookie . . . I'm looking forward to trying this - and Judy's vanilla version also . .

Made this again yesterday for a visitor today but as I had no cream in the fridge, decided to do a bit of tweaking.  I used 20g cornflour, 375g can light evaporated milk, 265g skim milk, 55g sugar, 1 good tablespoon coffee granules and the 2 eggs.  It set perfectly with no wobble and my guest thoroughly enjoyed it.

I had no cream so I have just made this using JD's tweak.  I also changed it to 1 tbl cocoa and 2 squares dark chocolate instead of the coffee.  Just had a quick taste when it was still hot and it is like a chocolate custard - would have loved to add a 1/4 cup of baileys but we were out 😯😯😯😳 don't know how that happened?

Will let you know in a couple of hours how this tastes!  And if it sets.

Interesting tweets girls.  My DIL loves the original.  I make it for her when she comes.
Snappy,  will be interested to hear how it goes.

It came out just like Choc yogo!  So DH was very impressed 😃

Only thing is that it does form a skin when cooling like custard so I would cover with gladwrap next time otherwise it is perfect.  It will be a staple around here 😛
