Café bombóns are one of the most popular coffee drinks you’ll find in Spain. This sweet coffee treat, which hails from the Mediterranean coastal city of Valencia, is a great dessert substitute at the end of a meal if you’re looking for a caffeine kick along with your sugar!

Would you like to try making this fun drink at home? Here’s how to do it!

Ingredients

  • 4 oz espresso coffee
  • 2 oz sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 oz whipped cream
  • Cocoa powder (optional)

Instructions

Start off by adding two ounces of sweetened condensed milk to a short, wide glass.

Once you’ve done this, head to your espresso maker and make about 4 ounces of espresso coffee in the glass containing the sweetened condensed milk. The coffee will rest on top of the condensed milk, creating two distinct layers.

After the espresso has been brewed, add an ounce or so of whipped cream to make another layer on top of the coffee.

Finish it off by dusting cocoa powder on top of the whipped cream, if you would like. Drink hot and enjoy!
