I fully endorse coffee with dessert and from what I’ve seen it’s only my grandparents and their friends that partake in this post-dinner ritual. I wish more people my age would join in, but wishful thinking never solved anything except turning Pinocchio into a real boy.
Maple Whipped Cream Coffee
- 1/2 cup Heavy Whipping Cream
- 1 tablespoon Maple Syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 2 Figs quartered
- 3 oz. Goat Cheese crumbled
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1/4 teaspoon Cinnamon
- Pizza dough
- Once again I used America’s Test Kitchen‘s pizza dough recipe for this one. You can buy their new book, Cooking School Cookbook here!
- Preheat the oven to 475°
- Drizzle the honey over the stretched out pizza dough. Crumble on the goat cheese. Add the figs and sprinkle the cinnamon over the pizza.
- Bake on a pizza baking stone for about 10 minutes or until the edges are crispy.
- NOTE: the figs will make this pizza a little juicy so let the sugars cool and solidify before cutting into the dessert pizza.
Things can change at a moment’s notice; the weather, the season, the ripeness of figs, but instead of worrying about what’s coming next, take time out of your busy schedule to enjoy something sweet and the post-dinner buzz of the world’s favorite bean. Enjoy!
