Great For Baking, Flavored Coffee And Cheesecake
I started using DaVinci syrups years ago when I saw the bottles at Smart & Final; they were reasonably priced, came in a wide assortment of flavors and could be used in coffee as well as when baking. Until I got the English Toffee syrup I was buying a couple of different toffee candy bars and breaking them in to pieces to add them to cookies and biscotti. The downside is that when I tried to use the candy in the biscotti and tried to bake them a second time to get them to harden the toffee would take on a slightly burnt taste. When I asked a couple of people about using this in biscotti they said that I would probably have to play around with the amount needed to get the best taste without it overpowering the rest of the biscotti. After a couple of batches I worked out the perfect amount that I needed to add and have been using it ever since. You can get this in a sugar free version but I wouldn't recommend that for baking because the artificial sweetener leaves a strong and unpleasant aftertaste. When I use this in coffee it is usually with a bold, dark roast and it does help to add a little bit of sweetness to it without killing the actual coffee flavor. Another great use for this is when it is drizzled over cheesecake; when I make a plain cheesecake but want to add a hint of toffee flavor to it. This is thick enough that it will stay in place but I strongly suggest that you drizzle it over the cheesecake (or any other dessert) after cutting it and right before serving it. Make sure that people actually like a toffee flavoring before you add it; while it isn't strong it is a very noticeable taste.
