I had to go out and get a tub of ricotta to make these Mocha-Ricotta Puffs, but they’re a great way to use up a bit of extra cheese if you already have it. These puffs are like little cakes, flavored with cocoa and espresso. Actually, as Dorie notes, they don’t really taste of coffee…I wouldn’t mind if that flavor was a bit more pronounced. I do like their soft texture a lot, and the way pretty way they dome and crack. I think I’d like to eat one with a big scoop of coffee ice cream!

For the recipe, see Dorie’s Cookies by Dorie Greenspan. Don’t forget to check out the rest of the TWD Blogroll and please join us if you haven’t already.

I agree that I wanted more coffee flavour. These would be fabulous with a scoop of coffee ice cream or better still, a scoop of vanilla and a shot of espresso – kind of like an affogato trifle 🙂

I love your photo; I love how the lights hit the little cracks on the cookies. I think these would be delicious with ice cream!

Yes, these were good, but were more chocolate than coffee. Your little tray of 6 is so sweet.

These cookies were good. Coffee ice cream, vanilla ice cream, it all sounds good.
