How to Make Espresso Royale Icebox Cake
✅Ingredients
2 cups heavy cream, very cold
1 can (14 ounces) condensed milk, very cold
1 tablespoon instant coffee granules, dissolved in 1 tablespoon warm water, and completely cooled
14 graham crackers, about 3-inch in lengths
2 tablespoons cocoa powder or chocolate shavings
✅Instructions
Line a 9 x 6 x 2 baking pan with parchment paper, leaving about a 1-inch overhang on all sides.
In a bowl, combine heavy cream, condensed milk, and liquid coffee. Using a hand mixer at low speed, whip the mixture until it begins to thicken. Increase speed to medium and continue to beat to stiff peaks.
Arrange one layer of graham crackers on the bottom of the prepared baking dish, breaking pieces as needed to fit sides.
Spoon ⅓ of the cream mixture on crackers and spread to cover.
Arrange another layer of graham crackers over the cream. Spoon and spread ⅓ of the cream mixture.
Repeat with another layer of graham crackers. Spoon and spread the remaining ⅓ of the cream mixture on top of the crackers.
Cover tightly with plastic film and refrigerate overnight. Freeze for about 1 hour before serving. Or freeze for about 6 hours for ice cream-like consistency.
Lift cake from pan using parchment paper overhang as support and transfer onto a serving platter.
Sprinkle the cocoa powder or chocolate shavings on top of the cake or dust with cocoa powder. Cut into squares to serve.

OMG Chocolate Espresso Muffins
OMG Chocolate Espresso Muffins
OMG Chocolate Espresso Muffins should probably be called “un-muffins”! This is an egg free delight that is dense, rich and decadent, not at all the texture you think of with a standard muffin or cupcake. They aren’t very sweet which I like but feel free to add more sweetener if you like. It’s hard to believe there are no eggs, sugar or flour in this yummy concoction … And just think as a bonus they are actually good for your heart & brain!
2 cups walnut flour
1/3 cup coconut flour
1/3 cup golden flax meal
1/4 cup (heaping) unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup Bocha Sweet (or sweetener of your choice)
1/2 tsp. Salt
1 tsp. Baking soda
3/4 tsp Xanthum gum
1 tsp instant espresso powder or coffee powder
1 1/4 cups full fat coconut milk
1/3 cup EVOO (or avocado oil)
1/2 tsp Acv
1 tsp Vanilla
1 cup stevia sweetened chocolate chips Pasha or Lily’s - Use a few extra to sprinkle on top.
Line 12 muffin tins with papers, divide batter, bake 325* 30- 40 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. My favorite way to eat these is cold with a hot cup of coffee.
Process your whole walnuts with the coconut flour in food processor) to make your own walnut flour or buy walnut flour and add all of the dry ingredients. Then add all of the wet ingredients and just mix until combined finishing with the chocolate chips. Thus, is an egg free recipe so the texture is not like a cup cake, but nice and dense which is what I particularly like about them. These are very rich and perfect with a cup of strong coffee or espresso!

The perfect accompaniment to your morning coffee is, unsurprisingly, a confection known as coffee cake. Containing no actual coffee, it is instead a lightly sweetened pound cake that's essentially just a vehicle to get streusel into your mouth as quickly and efficiently as possible. Maybe just make the streusel part and eat it by the spoonful if nobody is around to judge you.
