Notes
- You can use coffee powder instead of cocoa powder for dusting, if you prefer a more intense coffee flavor.
- Do not pour too much coffee mixture into the tin. It's easier to scrape it with a fork if it's no more than half of the tin.
- Do not add the sugar all at once. Keep tasting and adjusting according to your preferred sweetness or bitterness for coffee.
