4. Instant Coffee for Baking: Our Secret Ingredient for Depth

Did you know our instant coffee can elevate your baked goods? It intensifies chocolate flavors without adding a coffee taste, or it can provide a subtle coffee note to your favorite cakes and brownies.

• How to Use:

  • To enhance chocolate: Add 1-2 teaspoons of Cusa Coffee dissolved in a tablespoon of hot water to your chocolate cake batter, brownie mix, or chocolate frosting recipes. We've found it deepens the cocoa flavor beautifully.

  • For a subtle coffee flavor: Dissolve 1-2 packets of Cusa Coffee in the liquid component (milk or water) of your muffin, cookie, or cake recipes. We recommend starting with less and adding more to taste.

5. Instant Mocha Magic: A Chocolatey Treat

Why go to a coffee shop when we've made it so easy to whip up a rich, chocolatey mocha at home in seconds? Our Cusa Mocha Coffee is already a fantastic base, but a touch more chocolate never hurt anyone!

• Ingredients:

  • 1 packet of Cusa Mocha Coffee (Especially delicious with our Mocha Coffee!)

  • 1 tbsp cocoa powder

  • 1 tbsp sugar (or to taste)

  • 8-10 oz hot milk or water

  • Optional: Whipped cream, chocolate shavings for garnish

• Instructions:

  1. In your mug, combine your Cusa Mocha Coffee packet, cocoa powder, and sugar.

  2. Add a small amount of hot milk or water and stir vigorously to create a smooth paste, ensuring no lumps.

  3. Fill the rest of the mug with hot milk or water, stirring continuously until everything is well combined and frothy.

  4. Top with whipped cream and chocolate shavings if desired, and savor this comforting indulgence.
