Love at first sip

I first had a Café Bombón at Havanna in Caracas, my hometown. That Havanna is a replica of the Havanna coffee shops in Buenos Aires, Argentina. These coffee shops are now franchises in Latin America, Spain, and Florida. And Havanna is, by the way, home of the well-known alfajores and Argentinian dulce de leche.

Two small glasses of Café Bombon, with flowers in the background.

It was love at first sip. It couldn’t be different because, in Spanish, bombón means truffle. And Café Bombón is a hot beverage made of sweet condensed milk and espresso (usually in a 1:1 ratio.) With those two ingredients, you need nothing else. Don’t you? 

How to serve and pair Café Bombón

Later I learned Café Bombón was born in Alicante, Spain. Like in Café Havanna, they serve it in small clear glasses for visual purposes. You can see the beautiful layers of sweet condensed milk and espresso.

What is a Café Bombón?

This coffee is, as its name says, like candy. However, the sweetness of the condensed milk is balanced by the espresso’s robust flavor. Serve it with cookies or a good croissant, and it’s the perfect afternoon snack to indulge yourself.

How to make Café Bombón

Since I didn’t have an espresso machine, I prepared my Café Bombón with two parts of condensed milk and one of a very strong black coffee. I served them in cordial glasses just because they looked adorable.

The secret to creating the perfect layers is first to pour the sweetened condensed milk, and then with the help of a teaspoon, let the coffee run slowly through the convex side. That’s it.
