A Johor-style coffee dessert with coffee paste, whipped coffee cream, coffee ice cream, and a crisp wafer for contrast.

Johor Coffee Dessert Trio

This plated dessert combines several coffee-based components in one bowl: coffee paste, whipped coffee cream, coffee ice cream, and a crisp wafer. Each part brings a different texture while keeping coffee as the main flavour.

Main Components

The dessert includes:

Ground coffee paste for a concentrated base
Coffee Chantilly for a lighter cream element
Coffee ice cream for the cold custard component
A wafer cookie for crunch

Coffee Paste

The paste is made by blending coffee beans with oil and confectioners' sugar until smooth. It forms the base of the dessert and gives the finished plate a concentrated roasted coffee flavour.

Coffee Chantilly Cream

This cream adds a softer texture to the plate. Mascarpone helps stabilize it, while ground coffee and piloncillo add flavour without making it too dense.

Coffee Ice Cream

The ice cream uses a custard base with milk, cream, egg yolks, and ground coffee. Churning and freezing it fully helps it hold shape during assembly.

Coffee Wafer

The wafer adds a dry, crisp contrast to the cream and ice cream. Bake it on the day of serving if you want to keep it at its crispest.

Assembly Notes

Pipe or spoon the coffee paste into the serving bowl first. Add the whipped cream, then the ice cream, and finish with the wafer on top.

Make-Ahead Notes

Most components can be prepared in advance. The wafer is best baked on the same day so it stays crisp.

Serve well chilled with the wafer added just before plating.
