DeLallo Instant Espresso Powder is deep, rich espresso coffee beans that are brewed and then dried to become a powder. This pre-brewed espresso powder is naturally caffeinated and readily dissolves in hot, near-boiling water, for an instant coffee drink and can also be added to desserts and baked goods. Instant espresso powder is the best-kept secret to creating rich chocolate desserts and baked goods. Its deep complex flavor makes chocolate desserts richer. Just a teaspoon or two amplifies and complements chocolate flavor without imparting any distinct coffee flavor. If you prefer a mocha-style coffee drink flavor added to your chocolate recipes, add more espresso powder. Instant espresso powder is best known for its role in the Italian dessert, Tiramisu. With this convenient instant espresso, there is no need to brew a whole pot of espresso coffee for soaking ladyfingers.
