Coffee Melting Moments

Coffee Melting Moments

Ok, so this recipe is not that ‘out there’. But it’s just too good for me to not include on my blog and coffee flavored melting moments, well they are not the usual flavor. Generally, or traditionally I should say Melting Moments are shortbread type biscuits that are butter or vanilla in flavor with a buttercream filling. Soo… I figured it ticks some boxes (not all) in terms of being uncommon. BUT, what I can guarantee is this recipe ticks all the boxes when it comes to texture, taste and decadency. To be honest I have gone off coffee on recent months but one taste of this biscuit and there is no way I won’t be finishing it, as well as another one for the road!

An easy and super delicious recipe with the beautiful melt in your mouth texture.
