In case you didn’t know, I have a recipe series called Done in 60 Seconds that is designed to take literally 1 minute or less. The idea is based on the fact that not everyone has the time (or desire) to make a fancy 3-course dinner or a rockin’ bowl of oatmeal every morning. So I’ve come up with a few super quick recipes to add a little spice to your day. This can be anything from a quick and innovative snack to a twist on an morning staple (like this coffee recipe).
1-2 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder (with or without alkali is fine)
2 tsp Da Vinci Hazelnut or Raspberry Syrup (or any flavor)
8-10 oz brewed coffee
milk of choice (I like almond or coconut milk for this recipe)
*Note: If you don’t have these syrups, simply substitute 1 tsp sugar + 2 tsp water for a Dark Chocolate Truffle Coffee.
Directions:
1. Place the cocoa powder in the bottom of a mug and add the syrup (or sugar and water). Mix with a spoon until a paste is formed, adding a few drops of coffee, as needed, to help form the paste. Don’t add too much liquid at this stage or it will be difficult to dissolve the cocoa. The resulting paste should be silky smooth like the center of a chocolate truffle. It should look like this:
2. Pour in the coffee and add milk thicken. Stir with a spoon until the paste has dissolved into the coffee and enjoy! You may need to stir every few sips to prevent the chocolate from settling but it’s well worth it for this rich chocolately mug of coffee!
awesome and simple version of truffles, Truffles are a rich, creamy, luscious treat.
Novel idea! Who doesn’t have 60 seconds to make a treat or nosh. “Done in 60 Seconds” caught my eye. I like it.Looking forward to a few more “quick” ideas. Certainly one of your first posts-The Peanut Butter Hotdog- would fall into this category!
I like Done in 60 Seconds to. It reminds me of “Gone in 60 Seconds” which is one of my favorite movies!
I know that.
Love chocolate in my coffee!
Yes, I would love a recipe series!!
PB Boy –
Whatever you decide to name your newest fine series of recipes is OK with me!! You had me at ONE MINUTE! Love the first one!!!!

Thanks Deb =)
On Rachael Ray’s talk show, I’ve seen her have a few people on and do a 1 minute recipe showdown before. I don’t remember what she calls it. I like all your title options. Done in 60 seconds is a fun one. Probably the only thing I can make in 1 minutes is a pb & honey sandwich! ;)
Haha, that’s perfect though! I’ll add that to my list!
This looks so good. Another great idea. I like the titles “1-minute recipe” “Done in 60 seconds” and “60 second eats”.
Too many options, I can’t decide! I want the title to be good but also as short as possible so it’s not too cumbersome (and fits in the title at the top). Decisions, decisions….
Thank you for that. It’s my new obssesion :D
Oh yea? You’ve tried it already?
Love at first sight :D

Love the idea. Here are my early morning pre-coffee title ideas:
-Minute Made
-1 Minute Minis
-1 Minute Makeovers
-Quick Quisine
-1 and Done
-Fast and Fabulous
-Fix me in Sixty…seconds
I’m afraid that is the best I have pre-coffee…perhaps post-coffee too.
Oooh, “Minute Made” – I like that…reminds me of juice.
“Quick Quisine” and “1 and Done” – I like those too!
Keep them coming Juli! Drink up!
it has been done but…
-Fast Food
OR
-Rapid Recipes
-Express Eats or Expedient Eats
-Snacks in a Snap
Darn, you’re good. You’re making this very difficult to decided…
Which is your favorite so far, out of all of them?
“1 and Done” is my favorite
call me boring, but I really like “1 minute recipes” because it is what it is, literally
made a peanut butter version of this this morning with peanut flour, dutch cocoa powder, stevia and soy milk as my add-ins to my coffee :)
Nice, I did the exact same thing 2 days ago. I need to experiment a few more times to get the right ratio’s but I think it’s a winner-in-the-making!
Thanks for the recommendation, I’m still undecided!
Hello sir, I have a new website that lists peanut butter calories and I see you make a lot of recipes. If you don’t mind, I would like to list some of the nutrition content of some of your recipes (with credit given to your website). Is this fine with you?
yes, yes, and yes, pls! :) chocolate and raspberries always, always work!
Wow, this is really rich looking. Really delicious looking truffles although I must say that raspberry coffee truffles is a very interesting combination
