The Method

1
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2
Place the injera on a baking sheet and bake for 5-7 minutes, or until slightly crispy but still pliable. Be careful not to overbake, or they will become brittle.
3
While the injera is baking, prepare the coffee caramel sauce. In a small saucepan, heat the sugar over medium heat, stirring constantly until it melts and turns into a golden amber color. This may take 5-7 minutes.
4
Carefully add the butter to the caramel and stir until melted and smooth. Be careful as the mixture may splatter.
5
Slowly pour in the heavy cream and brewed coffee, stirring constantly until the sauce is smooth and emulsified. Remove from heat.
6
Let the injera cool slightly. Scoop the coffee ice cream onto one piece of injera.
7
Top with another piece of injera to form a sandwich.
8
Drizzle generously with the coffee caramel sauce. Serve immediately.

Chef's Tips

For a stronger coffee flavor, add a pinch of instant espresso powder to the caramel sauce.

If the caramel sauce becomes too thick, add a tablespoon of heavy cream or coffee to thin it out.

You can prepare the coffee caramel sauce ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator. Reheat gently before using.

Other flavor ice creams to try: chocolate, vanilla, cardamom, or honey.
