Dolcetti alle tre C / Triple C sweeties

Se non avete bisogno di mettervi a dieta e, come me, siete perennemente assonnati in questo (quasi) cambio di stagione, allora vi consiglio questi favolosi dolcetti alle tre C: cacao, cocco e caffè!

La ricetta originale la trovate qui sul sito del Lidl, ma per qualche ragione non ci sono le quantità di tutti gli ingredienti. Eccoveli qui di seguito:

If you don't need a diet, and you are always sleepy, like I am, in middle (almost) season period, the C sweeties are perfect for you: cocoa, coconut and coffee!

You can find the original recipe here on Lidl website, but I translate for you the italian recipe : )

- 120 gr di farina '00' / flour
- 120 gr di burro / butter
- 100 gr di zucchero di canna / cane sugar
- 80 gr di cocco grattugiato / coconut flour
- 30 gr di cacao amaro / cocoa
- 2 uova / eggs
- caffè in polvere / coffee powder
- 1 cucchiaino di lievito vanigliato / teaspoon of backing powder
- 1 cucchiaio di zucchero a velo / icing sugar
- 1 dl di caffè forte / strong coffee
- 5 cucchiai di latte / spoons of milk
- 1 pizzico di sale / bit of salt

Whip the soft butter with the brown sugar using a whisk and do it until you see a foamy cream taking form. After beating the eggs with milk and salt add them to the cream three times, alternating them with the flour mixed with the backing powder and 20 gr of cocoa powder. Add 70 gr of coconut and 1 spoon of coffee powder.

Put the mixture into a 18 cm squared cake tin and put it in the oven at 180° C for 40-45 minutes.

In a bowl mix the rest of the cocoa with iced sugar and hot coffee, and pour it immidiately over the cake. Put it in the switched off oven for 5 minutes, then take off the cake and let it cool up.  

Cut it in 4 cm cubes and spread on them the rest of the coconut mixed with 1/2 teaspoon of coffee powder.

Successo assicurato!

Success for sure!
