    Gluten-free sufganiyot with cardamom coffee cream {GF}

    In these gluten-free sufganiyot with cardamom coffee cream, the coffee is paired with gently sweetened cream and piped into freshly fried Jewish donuts. At first, it's the smell that draws me in. Rich and layered, it reminds me of chocolate and bonefires and early cool mornings when everything around you is just waking up. Then, it's the sight - black and shiny, with a perfect layer of crema on top that hints at the secrets within. The taste is the last thing that hits me, but it's what seals the deal - creamy and strong and resolute.

    Good coffee is like a long-lost lover, your stomach contorting in anticipation each time you lay your eyes on him. And your first kiss - that first sip you take from a cup - is like a tall glass of water on a parching summer's day.

In these gluten-free sufganiyot with cardamom coffee cream, the coffee is paired with gently sweetened cream and piped into freshly fried Jewish donuts. I love coffee. I try not to love it so much, because I know it's not so good for me, the oily black gold causing my stomach to clench in more ways than just anticipation. I also hate the way it makes me feel - jittery and happy and motivated at first, but then, very quickly, as exhausted and drawn out as a night-shift worker.

    Yet I can't refuse its siren call. In the early morning, as I am getting ready to go to work, I make myself a cup of latte in our Nespresso machine. Then at work, I'll often get another cappuccino in the afternoon, letting its foam envelop me in a cocoon of warmth, melting away the stress of the waking hours. In coffee shops, I get a cappuccino or a cortado, letting myself splurge on the extra splash of milk. In Israel, I always ask my mom to brew me some of her famous mud coffee - with cardamom and sugar, it's the best cup of joe I could possibly imagine.

    So when one of my favourite bloggers, Kimberly of The Little Plantation, asked me to participate in a very special blog party promoting Malawian coffee, I didn't have to think twice. Malawi is one of the lesser known coffee-producing regions in the world; this is despite the fact that most of the coffee that comes from Malawi is fair  trade and of high calibre. In a world where so much of the products we buy are sourced in questionable ways and through questionable means, the opportunity to support such worthwhile coffee is one I wholeheartedly endorse.

    I knew right away that I wanted my recipe to bring together coffee and cardamom, two of my favourite flavours. And in honour of Chanukah, the Jewish festival of light, I decided to try my hand at preparing gluten-free sufganiyot with cardamom coffee cream. And after several tries, I am proud to present to you my dessert of choice for this Jewish holiday season (the sufganiyot recipe is adapted from this great recipe for gluten-free donuts from the Culintary Institute of America).

    Coffee lends itself beautifully to desserts, its bitterness highlighting the sweet undertones of sugar and spice. In these gluten-free sufganiyot with cardamom coffee cream, the coffee is paired with gently sweetened cream and piped into freshly fried Jewish donuts. The result is a decadent affair with cream, coffee, and a gentle dusting of icing sugar.

    If you're looking to try some Malawian coffee yourself, I bought my single-origin Malawian beans from San Diego Coffee on Amazon. You can also source Malawian coffee from Toms and Igourmet in the U.S., or from Coffee Direct in the UK (there's even a 20 per cent discount code for readers of this post - just use #loveMalawicoffee when you purchase from this site! Valid until Dec 31).

    Ingredients

    • For sufganiyot:
    • 1¼ cups white rice flour
    • 1 cup granulated sugar
    • ⅞ cup potato or corn starch
    • ½ cup tapioca starch
    • ½ cup plus 1 tablespoon chickpea flour or soy flour
    • 4 teaspoons xanthan gum or psyllium husk
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • 1 ¾ teaspoons baking powder
    • 7 ½ teaspoons instant dry yeast
    • 1 ¼ cups warm milk of choice or water
    • 1 ½ sticks unsalted butter melted
    • 2 large eggs lightly beaten
    • 4 cups vegetable oil or more
    • Extra sugar powdered sugar or cinnamon, optional
    • For coffee cardamom cream:
    • 500 ml whipping cream
    • ⅛ cup cold strong brewed Malawi coffee use 2 TBs to brew this amount
    • ½ teaspoon cardamom
    • 1 TB sugar

    Instructions

    • Place rice flour, granulated sugar, potato starch, tapioca starch, chickpea flour, xanthan gum, salt, baking powder and dry yeast in a large bowl. Beat briefly with a mixer or whisk to combine.
    • Add milk, melted butter and eggs to dry ingredients. Beat for 5 minutes at medium speed.
    • Let dough rest for 20 minutes in a warm, draft-free area.
    • Cut 5x5-inch squares of parchment paper, and spray them with oil spray. Arrange each square in a muffin tin (it's ok if it's not perfect). Spoon dough into each parchment square, trying to shape it like a ball. Let proof for 20 minutes in a warm, humid environment.
    • In a deep pot or electric fryer, heat oil over medium heat until oil reaches 350 degrees, and a bit of dough you flick into the oil immediately start to cook. Gently slide 2 donut sheets into the oil and fry 4 to 6 minutes or until golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to remove the paper and gently turn donuts. Cook another 2 to 3 minutes. Remove to a tray lined with several sheets of paper towels.
    • Prepare cream: beat whipping cream until it can hold stiff peaks. Slowly add sugar and cold coffee, 1 teaspoon at a time, continuing to whisk to incorporate (make sure the coffee is cold! Adding hot coffee will curdle your cream).
    • When sufganiyot have cooled a bit, cut them in half and spoon cardamom coffee cream. Sprinkle sufganiyot with powdered sugar.

      You did it again. Beautiful styling, dark and moody. I love it. Coffee's siren song, seriously! Ksenia you are brilliant.
      Thanks for bringing such a poetic and warm post like this in to my life at this time of year.
      I wish you all the honor and tradition of Chanuka and my the light of the festival continue to shine through you as it normally does.
      I can't wait for that day when we can share a cup of coffee together.
      Lots of love, Kellie from Princess and the Yard Ape
