I have heard people raving about the awesomeness of coffee flavour but hadn't quite understood until I made cakes and desserts at home. The delicate flavour and the smell just blew my mind away. Now, I am a convert.

This dessert took me hardly 15minutes to prepare, but couldn't resist opening my refrigerator again and again to check if it had set... Oh, the pleasure of digging into this delicious creation was just out of this world. Hey, don't just take my word for it. Try it for yourself and then tell me!
