Espresso Cream
A silky, café-style espresso cream that's ready in minutes and perfect for filling pastries, topping desserts or zhoosing your coffee!
Rich, smooth and infused with the bold flavour of freshly brewed espresso, this Espresso Cream is one of those recipes you'll find yourself making again and again. It comes together in minutes with just a handful of ingredients, yet tastes like something straight from a French pâtisserie. Use it to fill profiteroles and éclairs, layer into cakes, pipe onto cupcakes or simply serve alongside fresh berries for an elegant dessert. Coffee lovers, you've been warned, it's seriously addictive and a little too easy.
