Coffee Lovers, Rejoice! Coffee Extract is Just for You

Add the flavor you crave into every recipe with Nielsen-Massey Pure Coffee Extract

WAUKEGAN, ILLINOIS (June 24, 2014) – In 2013, the National Coffee Association reported that 83 percent of Americans are coffee drinkers, with 63 percent of Americans turning to coffee daily to keep them energized. It should come as no surprise, then, that we take an entire day to celebrate coffee; this year, National Coffee Day falls on Monday, September 29.

"Drinking coffee has become an important part of the American culture," said Matt Nielsen, COO of Nielsen-Massey Vanillas, Inc. "We love our Pure Coffee Extract for that very reason – it allows the home cook to easily infuse the coffee flavor that they love and crave into their recipes and baked goods, such as biscotti – a favorite coffee companion."

This September, celebrate National Coffee Day by following Nielsen's suggestion and infusing the rich flavor of coffee into your sweet and savory recipes with Nielsen-Massey Pure Coffee Extract:

  • Coffee Cloud Meringues: These light, airy, and naturally gluten-free meringue cookies are the perfect bite at the end of a meal. With the rich coffee flavor, they are like an after-dinner dessert and cup of coffee all rolled into one sweet package.

  • Vanilla Mocha Latte Shooters: In this adult version of a milkshake, Nielsen-Massey Tahitian Pure Vanilla Extract, Pure Chocolate Extract and Pure Coffee Extract come together to create a mocha-inspired cocktail that guests at any party will love.

  • Kona Rubbed Steak: The flavor of coffee is not just for baked goods or drinks! This recipe combines the flavor of coffee with savory ingredients for a complexly flavored steak that will be the star of your next barbecue.

Frequently served alongside cappuccinos and lattes, biscotti have become a staple in American coffeehouses. Nielsen-Massey’s Chocolate Coffee Biscotti recipe, below, infuses the flavor of coffee into the biscotti with Nielsen-Massey Pure Coffee Extract. When paired with Nielsen-Massey Madagascar Bourbon Pure Vanilla Bean Paste, Madagascar Bourbon Pure Vanilla Sugar and mini chocolate chips, it makes for a cookie that is sweet and rich with a perfect chocolate-and-coffee finish.

Chocolate Coffee Biscotti                                                         
Yield 2-1/2 Dozen

2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 tablespoon Nielsen-Massey Madagascar Bourbon Pure Vanilla Bean Paste
1 teaspoon Nielsen-Massey Pure Coffee Extract
1 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate morsels
1 tablespoon Nielsen-Massey Madagascar Bourbon Pure Vanilla Sugar (divided)

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a large light-colored heavy rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.

In a medium bowl, add flour, baking powder and salt; whisk to combine and set aside.

In a large bowl, add butter and sugar; beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until combined. Add eggs, vanilla and coffee extracts, and beat until creamy, about 2 minutes. Reduce speed to low; add flour mixture and beat until combined. Add chocolate and beat until combined.

Dough will be slightly sticky. Divide dough in half. Using a lightly floured surface, roll dough into 2 (12-inch) logs. Transfer logs to prepared sheet pan and press and form each log so the width of each is about 2-1/2 inches across and the height is about 3/4 inch. Sprinkle each log with 1/2 tablespoon of vanilla sugar and gently press into dough.

Bake until done, about 25-30 minutes; remove from oven and carefully transfer parchment paper with biscotti to a wire rack and slightly cool. Reduce oven to 325°F.

Using a serrated knife, cut logs crosswise, on the diagonal, into 1/2-inch slices. Place on parchment lined sheet pan, cut side down. Bake until crisp, about 16-20 minutes, turning biscotti over halfway through baking time. Cool on wire rack and store biscotti in an airtight container.
