Coffee Cream – Café Gourmand

Close your eyes… the intense aroma of freshly brewed coffee, softened by a smooth, melt-in-your-mouth texture.
With this Crème de Café, L’Épicurien transforms the coffee ritual into a true moment of indulgence—simple and deeply comforting.

L’Épicurien’s Crème de Café is a handcrafted sweet treat designed as a tribute to French-style gourmet coffee. It combines aromatic intensity and creamy sweetness in a perfectly balanced blend.

At the heart of the recipe is a premium Arabica coffee, selected for its clean flavor and long finish. It is delicately blended with cane sugar, eggs, and butter to achieve a dense, smooth, and enveloping texture. The addition of fruit pectin and agar-agar provides natural body without ever weighing down the taste.

On the palate, the initial taste is clean and distinctly coffee-forward. Then the cream settles in, round and silky, leaving a warm, almost pastry-like sensation. The flavor is balanced—neither too bitter nor too sweet—true to the L’Épicurien spirit: precise, indulgent, yet without excess.

Made in France at our artisanal workshop in the South of France (Le Bosc, Hérault).
