I love creating easy, no-bake treats like these Toffee Coffee Biscuit Bites. They’re a simple take on my toffee coffee cake, which everyone loves and is a must-try! The crunchy toffee almonds are to die for and add the perfect texture to these biscuit bites. The blend of cinnamon and coffee makes them irresistible, while the whipped cream filling takes them over the top. If you’re a fan of quick snacks, be sure to check out my two-ingredient biscuit snack with banana and orange blossom, or for something more traditional, try my Blighat Sesame Bows, a Moroccan sesame pastry coated in honey.
These Biscuit Bites are a perfect snack for when you want something sweet but don’t want to turn on the oven. They come together in no time and are easy to customise. Whether you’re making them for a special occasion or a simple treat, you’ll love the combination of flavours and textures. Plus, they pair perfectly with a cup of coffee for an afternoon pick-me-up!
Step 1. Prepare the Toffee Almonds
To make the toffee almonds, on medium heat, melt the sugar, and add the almond until well combined. Remove from stove and pour the almond mixture onto baking paper/parchment paper. Set aside and cool completely.
Once the almonds and toffee have cooled and set, place them in a bag and crush them coarsely. If using a food processor, pulse gently to avoid clumping, and be sure to avoid using a powerful one, as it can cause the toffee to become sticky.
Step 2. Make the Biscuit Base
In a large bowl, mix the crushed biscuits, ground cinnamon, and half of the coffee mixture. Add the condensed milk and stir until the mixture forms a dough-like consistency. If it feels too soft, add more crushed biscuits as needed.
Portion the mixture into approximately 35g balls. Roll each ball in the coarse toffee almond mixture immediately after shaping. If the mixture starts to dry, wet your hands slightly to help the coating stick.
Step 3. Prepare the Coffee Cream
In a mixing bowl, add the remaining half of the coffee mixture to the thickened cream. Whip the cream until it forms soft peaks creating a smooth coffee-flavoured cream. Using the back end of a wooden spoon, or your falafel mould, press a deep indent into the center of each biscuit ball without cutting through. The more cream you can fit, the better the flavour balance.
Step 4. Assemble the Biscuit Bites
Fill each indent with the coffee cream using a piping bag or spoon. Garnish with whole edible roses.
