This Café Bombón recipe is part of a sponsored collaboration with Eagle Brand. Thank you reading and supporting the brands that make Savoir Faire possible.
The first time I had a Café Bombón —literally candy coffee—, was in Caracas, at Havanna, a replica of the Havanna coffee shops in Buenos Aires —now a franchise in Latin America, Spain and Florida. Havanna is, by the way, home of the well-known alfajores and Argentinian dulce de leche.
It was love a first sip. It couldn’t be different because a Café Bombón is a hot beverage made out of sweet condensed milk and espresso (usually in a 1:1 ratio.) With those two ingredients, you need nothing else. Don’t you? Later I learned Café Bombón is very popular in Spain, where, like in Café Havanna, it’s served in small clear glasses for visual purposes: you can see the perfect layers of sweet condensed milk and espresso.
So, when Eagle Brand contacted me to give a try to its Borden sweet condensed milk I couldn’t avoid thinking of making these cute Café Bombón. After all, temperatures in Miami are below average! Since I don’t have an espresso machine, I prepared them with two parts of condensed milk and one of a very strong black coffee. I served them in cordial glasses just because they look adorable.
Cheers!

Cannot imagine having a Cafe Bombón with an alfajor at a Havana Coffee shop… daydreaming… in the meantime, I’ll prepare the café bombón at home 🙂 thanks for the recipe
Thank you my dear!
Es una bebida maravillosa!
Gracias mi More!
Qué rico! No pues, esto está mejor que sí hubiera estado mezclado.
Pero igual se revuelve antes de tomarlo. Gracias Blanquita.
It is completely my kind of thing. I will love to have it.
