Coffee Vodka & Boozy Mocha Mousse

Last week I made my Russian Toffee Coffee using a shot of Toffee Vodka to perk up the coffee. This week I've made a coffee flavoured vodka that makes a great after dinner drink over ice, or can be added to coffee for an extra kick. It can also be used in recipes such as Tiramisu, coffee cake or added to a mousse.

It can be made in whatever quantity you choose, making the coffee syrup first and then adding the vodka to taste.

Coffee Vodka

75g dark soft brown sugar
150ml espresso coffee
100ml vodka

• Add the sugar and coffee to a saucepan and bring to the boil
• Simmer for 10 minutes
• Pour the coffee syrup into a sterilised bottle and add the vodka

It is really that simple, and the end result is not unlike the taste of Tia Maria - delicious if you are a coffee lover.

Now that you've made the coffee vodka you can use it to pour over ice cream, in baking and also whip up this very delicious mousse. This recipe serves one but you can just increase the quantities for additional servings.

Boozy Mocha Mousse - serves 1

50ml Double cream
50g Nutella chocolate spread
1 tbsp Coffee Vodka

• Whisk the ingredients together until they form soft peaks
• Pour into a glass or small dish & refrigerate for at least 30 minutes
