CINNAMON-ESPRESSO CHURROS

Steps:

• Cinnamon sugar: In a small bowl, whisk together the sugar, cinnamon and espresso powder. Set aside.
• Churros: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and dust liberally with flour. Set aside. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan or Dutch oven, combine the water, butter, sugar, espresso powder, and salt over medium-high heat. Bring the mixture to a boil. Remove the pan from the heat and, using a wooden spoon, stir in the 1 cup of flour all at once. Return the pan to low heat and stir continuously until the mixture forms a thick dough, about 2 minutes. Transfer the dough to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. With the machine running on medium speed, slowly add the eggs. Continue to beat until the eggs are fully incorporated and the dough is thick, about 4 minutes. Transfer the dough to a pastry bag fitted with a large star tip. Pipe the dough onto the prepared baking sheet in 4-inch long logs.
• In a large heavy-bottomed saucepan, pour enough oil to fill the pan about 1/3 of the way. Heat over medium heat until a deep-frying thermometer inserted in the oil reaches 350 degrees F. (If you don't have a thermometer a cube of bread will brown in a couple of minutes.) Using a thin metal spatula, transfer the dough, 4 pieces at a time, into the hot oil, and fry until dark-golden and crispy, about 3 minutes. Drain on paper towels and roll in the cinnamon-espresso sugar while still hot. Transfer to a serving platter and serve immediately.

CINNAMON ESPRESSO BARS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Grease bottom and sides of 13x9-inch pan with shortening or spray with cooking spray; coat with flour. In large bowl, beat brown sugar, butter and egg with electric mixer on medium speed until blended, or mix with spoon. Stir in remaining bar ingredients. Spread in pan.
• Bake 20 to 22 minutes or until top springs back when touched in center.
• Meanwhile, in small bowl, mix all glaze ingredients with spoon until smooth and thin enough to drizzle. Drizzle over bars while warm. Cool completely, about 1 hour. For bars, cut into 8 rows by 6 rows.

ESPRESSO CINNAMON ROLLS RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:

• 1. Warm the milk until it reaches 110°F. This takes about a minute in the microwave. In the bowl of your stand mixer combine milk, yeast and 1/4 cup of sugar. Give it a stir and let it sit for 10 minutes without disturbing it. 2. After 10 minutes it should be foamy and bubbly. If not, the yeast was probably old. Don't move forward without a foamy yeast mixture! Once foamy, add eggs, melted butter, salt, instant espresso granules and remaining 1/4 cup of sugar. Mix on low speed until incorporated. 3. Slowly add flour 1 cup at a time. Mix on medium-low speed until the dough forms a ball and starts to pull away from the sides. When this happens, stop the mixer and remove the ball. Place in a well-oiled bowl (we like to use coconut oil or butter when baking). Cover with plastic wrap and let rest in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size. 4. For the filling, combine the brown sugar, melted butter, cinnamon and instant espresso in a bowl. Mix and set aside. 5. Butter or oil a large baking dish and set aside. After the dough has at least doubled in size, remove from the bowl and roll into a large rectangle that measures approximately 12x24 inches. Once the dough is evenly rolled out, spread the filling all over the dough leaving a 1/2 inch border all the way around the edges. Starting at the end closest to you, start tightly rolling the dough into a log. Seal the edges together by pinching together with your fingers. 6. Cut the dough into even portions, about 1 inch thick, using floss or pastry cutter. Place rolls into the greased baking dish and cover again with plastic wrap. Let the rolls rise again for about 1 hour. 7. After 1 hour, preheat oven to 350°F. Bake rolls for 25-30 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and the insides are bubbling out. 8. While the rolls are baking, make the frosting by combining the cream cheese and butter in the bowl of your stand mixer. Beat until light and fluffy with no clumps. Add powdered sugar, coffee, vanilla extract and salt. Mix well. 9. When the rolls come out of the oven, spread frosting all over and enjoy!

CINNAMON ESPRESSO

Steps:

• Put about 6 or 7 Tablespoons of coffee beans in your coffee grinder.
• Add a small piece of cinnamon stick to the beans. Try a very small piece the first time. The idea is to get the aroma of the cinnamon in the coffee but not taste it fully in the drink. If you are crazy about cinnamon, put in a bit more. Personally, I like to put in a very small sliver.
• Grind the coffee beans and the cinnamon together.
• Make espresso as usual using whatever machine you usually use.
• Add sugar and/or milk if desired.
