Whether you can’t start your day without it or you only partake from time-to-time, coffee is a flavor that is excellent in a range of foods beyond a cup o’ joe!
Coffee might not be a food you’d consider in savory uses, but hear us out. These sticky wings are coated in a flavorful combination of brown sugar, chile powder and ground coffee before being tossed in a tangy sticky sauce that is too good to pass up! Made with rice vinegar, shallot, fresh ginger, sugar and sriracha sauce, there is a little heat with a flavortown of sweetness. It’s a perfect change-up on a classic appetizer!
Adding an “earthy quality to an already complex mix of flavors”, this rib rub is another way to experiment with coffee in a savory application. Coffee, salt, paprika, chili powder, dark brown sugar, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, cocoa powder, and coriander – the spice mix alone is enticing! Combined with a suggested stout bbq sauce, this is one oven, grill or slow cooker recipe we can 100% get behind.

Translating to “Pick me up” or “cheer me up” in Italian, this tasty cake combines espresso-soaked lady finger cookies with sweet mascarpone cheese and even a little rum to do just that. This Italian recipe is that much better because of how easy it is.
