Talking with Bananaface Invasion about recipes, he has found maybe the sorcerer's stone.
It's quite similar to a recipe I have told many many times in this forum, but, instead of the tricky emulsifier, using Nescafe. The outcome seems amazing!! There are plenty videos in Youtibe explaining how to make it. Even without sugar!!
He shared to me this video, but there are plenty with some differences between them... In some they suggest to use caster sugar...
We haven't tried ourselves, but I can promise I will as soon as I can!!
I made a batch of this stuff today. Can confirm that it does infact work. Tastes great too. Her recipe makes one large, or two small ones. I'd rather use this than cool whip for sure.
the ingredient amounts (below) mentioned in the youtube video made 2 small size pies. 20g instant coffee / 200g sugar / 160ml water
took about 5 minutes with a hand mixer to get to the consistency shown in the pictures, which made for some decent coverage.
since it was basically coffee, cleanup was a breeze, but it did leave some stains on a white shirt (i'll see if they get removed after a thorough wash)
since i like my morning coffee, this could be a nice wake-me-up way to serve it
bonus: i smell coffee even after having showered so it could keep me awake
