does anybody know food that I can make with coffee:)?

Tons - what sorts of dishes were you thinking of? Main course? Dessert?

If you're looking for foods that will actually give you the caffeine effects that drinking a cup of coffee would, then I'm not so sure about that.... you'd probably just have to serve the dish with coffee as a beverage. =)

But if you're just wanting that coffee flavor, I bet I could suggest quite a few!

Anything you make with coffee is likely to be a desert and unlikely to have significant caffeine.

Tiramisu is delish...

Coffee ice cream! Coffee brownies!

I've had grilled steaks that were marinated in a coffee marinade. Yum!

Coffee moca chip (Haagen Das)! Significant amount of coffee w/cream and sugar!

My wife made a Chocolate Bomb (flourless cake) for New Year's Eve one year. The next day everyone was commenting on how they couldn't sleep! Let me know if you want the recipe and I'll try to dig it up.

do you want the taste of COFFEE or do you want CAFFEINE?

because if you want a 'stimulant-containing' food, i'd look into GUARANA. due to the very strong, special taste of coffee, coffee cannot be used e.g. in main courses (at least i think so - coffee only goes well with cake or ice-cream or... something sweet), but i think you could use guarana powder in main dishes, too.

As a dietary supplement, guarana is an effective energy booster – it contains about twice the caffeine found in coffee beans (about 2-4.5% caffeine in guarana seeds compared to 1-2% for coffee beans).

In the United States, guarana has the status of being generally recognized as safe (GRAS)

from wikipedia


also, i found that guarana has a "prolonged-release" form of caffeine - it doesnt kick in as strong but therefor, lasts longer than coffee.

If it's the coffee taste you're going for, though, there are plenty of recipes - for meat and main courses, too! Sounds like that's not what the OP was going for, though. =)

Tiramisu - in fact, I think I'll have to make one this weekend....

Some Japanese exchange students we had stay with us one summer introduced us to an awesome simple coffee dessert... coffee jello!

Mix: Strong black coffee & plain gelatine powder. (available at any grocery store)

Pour into coffee mugs & put in the fridge to set just like any jello.

Top with whipped cream/coolwhip/whatever whipped topping you prefer & serve with a spoon.

Pretty tasty, simple, and probably something your coffee loving guests have never tried before. 8)
