I've been meaning to do a post on these coffees for a while now. I didn't need to keep 'testing' them - I knew straight away that I would love them!
The company is called 'Beanies' & these instant coffees are only 2 calories per cup! Perfect.
I am a self-confessed coffee addict & when some dear friends discovered these coffees (yes, all credit goes to them! Thank you!), they had to buy them for me!
And, I've been adding to the collection ever since. (There's so many flavours I want to try!)
The flavours I have so far are;
Amaretto Almond (would go great with cake!)
Hazelnut (Perfectly nutty!)
Chocolate (Lovely choccie flavour)
Chocolate Orange (Just like 'Terrys'!)
Cinder Toffee (Just fab!)
Irish Cream (Lovely flavour)
They are all absolutely delicious (I drink them with either Soya Milk or Almond Milk due to my cow's milk intolerance) but I have to say I'm torn between 2 favourites - Amaretto & Cinder Toffee! Yum!
Beanies started back in 2009 & are constantly creating new flavours; they've even created a coffee with added vitamin D!
Their website is amazing; full of recipes of how to 'pimp up' your coffee & other fun things. Their aim, they say, is to 'revolutionise the average coffee & fill the world with flavour' & they are doing a very good job of it! I've never tried such lovely instant coffee before.
There is 3 on my list that I definitely want to try next - Cinnamon & Hazelnut,
Coconut Delight
&
Cookie Dough!
So, who will be kind enough to buy these for me??
Anyone?!

PS...As I type this, I've just been sipping on the Hazelnut coffee....delicious!
As I've mentioned before, I can't eat wheat or cows milk (believe me, I'd love to, but it doesn't love me!) & there aren't always many sweet treats I can have, so I decided to make something myself!
So, here it is. I'm sharing a secret with you....my chocolate cake recipe & it really is as delicious as it looks!
You will need....
2 x 8" deep Cake Tins
3 x Eggs
5oz Gluten Free Self Raising Flour
1oz Cocoa Powder
1 1/2 teaspoons Gluten Free Baking Powder
6oz Caster Sugar
6oz Dairy Free Spread
Sieve the flour, cocoa powder & baking powder together. Then mix the rest of the ingredients & divide the mixture into the tins (make sure the tins are greased with dairy free spread & line with greaseproof paper) & bake for 20-25 minutes on 170c Fan
For the buttercream....
You will need....
3oz Dairy Free Spread
7oz Icing Sugar
2oz Cocoa Powder
1tbl Soya Milk
Beat the dairy free spread & sieved icing sugar & sieved cocoa powder together. Then gradually add the soya milk. Then spread on one of the sponge cakes & place the other spong cake on top. Afterward spread the remaining buttercream on the top. Add whatever decorations you like or leave plain.
Then the final & most important thing....
