Coffee Syrups, as we know, are a great addition to a cup of
coffee. However they can also be a terrific gourmet cooking
ingredient. Because there are so many flavors to choose
from you can enhance both savory and sweet dishes with
almost endless combinations. Listed below are examples of
sweet and savory recipes that can be made with Amaretto
coffee syrup.
Tiramisu
Tiramisu is a wonderfully rich Italian desert made with
lady finger biscuits and espresso - it is a natural fit for
experimenting with coffee syrups.
Ingredients
6 whole eggs + 4 egg yolks
200ml Amaretto Coffee Syrup
800g Mascarpone Cheese
30 lady finger biscuits
40 ml water
Pinch Of Salt
Method
Separate the egg whites from the yolks
Put the egg whites in one clean and dry bowl
Put the egg whites into another clean, dry bowl Vigorously
stir the mascarpone until it thickens
Add the Amaretto coffee syrup to the yolks and whisk until
fluffy
Add the egg yolk mixture to the mascarpone and fold them
together gently
Add the pinch of salt to the egg whites and whisk until
they form stiff peaks.
Add the egg whites to the egg yolk mixture and gently fold
in - you should make sure to stir gently otherwise you run
the risk of releasing the air trapped inside the egg whites.
Take a rectangular, shallow dish and add the water with
some more amaretto coffee syrup.
Put half of the lady fingers into the dish to allow them to
soak up the aromatic liquid.
Spoon over half of the egg mixture over the biscuits Put
the other half of the lady finger biscuits on top of the
mixture to form a new layer.
Spoon the remaining egg mixture over the biscuits. Put a
dusting of cocoa over the desert and put it in the fridge
for a minimum of 5 hours. You can even leave it overnight
to let the flavors enrich.
Serves 6-8
Amaretto Chicken Supreme
The next recipe shows how you can use the versatile
amaretto coffee syrup in a savory dish - you can substitute
regular chicken breasts for chicken supremes if you wish.
Ingredients
1 cup Amaretto coffee syrup
5 supremes of chicken
3 tblsps flour
2 tsps smoked Hungarian paprika
4 cloves garlic
2 tblsps extra virgin olive oil
2 tsps freshly ground black pepper
2 tsps sea salt
1 1/2 tblsps butter
2 tblsps English mustard
1 1/2 pints of orange juice
Method
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (330 for a fan oven).
Crush the garlic cloves
Mix the dry ingredients together and add to the garlic Rub
the chicken supremes all over with the garlic mixture
Heat the butter and oil in a frying pan
When the oil is hot, add the chicken supremes and sear them
until golden on both sides. You may need to do this in
batches. Your oil must be hot enough to make the chicken
supremes sizzle.
Put the browned chicken into a casserole.
Add the orange juice, mustard and amaretto coffee syrup to
the frying pan
Bring the pan to the boil, stirring continuously until the
mixture is reduced slightly.
Add a little flour or roux as needed to help the sauce
thicken.
Pour the glaze over the chicken supremes and bake in the
oven for 25 minutes.
Serve with mashed potato and green beans. Serves 6
