Coffee-Caramel-Jam Toasts
- 1/2 cup crushed coffee beans
- 1 1/4 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon light corn syrup
- 2 teaspoons instant espresso
- 1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 stick cold unsalted butter, cubed
- Dark rye toasts, for serving
- Make the jam Preheat the oven to 350.
- Spread the coffee beans on a baking sheet and toast for 10 minutes, until fragrant.
- Transfer to a large bowl.
- Stir in the heavy cream and milk, cover and let steep in the refrigerator overnight.
- Strain the coffee cream through a fine sieve, pressing on the solids; you should have 2 cups.
- In a large saucepan, cook the sugar over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until a light amber caramel forms, about 5 minutes.
- Slowly add the coffee cream; be careful, as it will boil vigorously.
- Add the corn syrup, espresso and sea salt and bring to a simmer; the caramel will harden but will dissolve as it simmers.
- Cook over moderately low heat, stirring, until a candy thermometer inserted in the caramel jam registers 210, about 12 minutes.
- Carefully transfer the jam to a blender and puree until smooth and shiny.
- Scrape into a medium bowl and let cool to room temperature.
- Meanwhile, make the crumble In a medium bowl, whisk the all-purpose flour with the almond flour, sugar, cocoa powder and sea salt.
- Using your fingers, rub in the butter until coarse crumbs form.
- Spread the crumbs in an even layer on a parchment paperlined baking sheet and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 350.
- Bake the crumble for about 18 minutes, until golden.
- Transfer to a rack to cool completely.
- Spread some coffee-caramel jam on the toasts.
- Sprinkle the chocolate crumbles on one half of each toast; press gently to help them adhere.
