We're curious about your coffee habits - coffee cooking, that is. Most of us drink coffee in some form, whether it's at home or at our favorite coffeeshop.
But cooking and baking with coffee is another thing entirely, and we're curious about what you like to do with it in the kitchen. We've already mentioned our Coffee Fluff and a moist coffee-flavored cake. Oh and there's Coffee Chip Ice Cream too. We just may have a savory coffee recipe for you tomorrow.
What about you? If you're going to bake or cook with coffee, what do you make? Got a favorite recipe to share?
I use espresso powder in ganache and other frostings regularly. I also like to throw coffee in stews and chili to add some depth and tooth to them because the Guy is vegetarian and vegetable stock really lacks the punch necessary to support most stews.

I always use espresso powder in brownies. It gives them a nice depth and cuts the sweetness a bit.

I add coffee grounds to my black beans along with cayenne, paprika, black pepper, kosher salt, and a bit of brown sugar. It gives the beans an extra kick.

my favorite biscotti is a mocha-hazelnut variety from Joy of Cooking. I could eat it every day.

I love a good Frozen Latte!
I also have been known to add a shot or two of espresso to my smoky chili. The coffee, along with the cocoa powder, sage and cinnamon make it very rich and give depth to the cubed steak.

I make espresso granita and tiramisu quite regularly. A high quality espresso is the key.

I make muffins for breakfast with coffee. I'll get the recipe from home when I go if anyone is interested.

my hack for box-mix brownies is using really strong coffee in place of the water. it's not quite as delectable as from-scratch, but in a pinch, they are quite delicious.

Pork ribs. No, really; I'm serious. Marinate the ribs for a couple of hours or even a full 24 hours in: half a pot of brewed coffee, 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, a few cloves of crushed garlic, and a dash of: cinnamon, nutmeg, cayenne, salt, and pepper. Then put the ribs in a roasting pan with a lid (or topped with aluminum foil), pour the marinade back over top of the ribs, and roast them in a 300F oven for 3 hours, turning the ribs over in the marinade about halfway through. Oh so very yum.

We've used coffee grounds as part of a rub for grilled salmon -- it was wonderful.
