What is Isomelt?
Isomelt is a Sugar substitute with only the sugar alcohols that is traditionally used in sugar-free candy creation and sugar sculpture. When using isomelt and heating it, the color does not change and caramalize like sugar does, making it perfect for making things clear or colored like these coffee bombs or tea bombs.
How to Use a Coffee Bomb
To use, place one in a mug and pour 6 ounces hot water over the top. Stir until the coffee bombs are completely melted and enjoy!
Coffee Bomb Flavor Ideas
It was important to me that changing up the flavors was easy to do with this coffee bombs with instant coffee recipe. To change up the flavors all you have to do is change up what flavor Powdered Coffee Creamer you include with the instant coffee.
- Hazelnut
- French Vanilla
- Mocha
- Caramel
Tips for Making Coffee Bombs
Use GOOD instant coffee. Just like when you are making whipped coffee it is important too use a good quality instant coffee.
Be CAREFUL when touching the balls and they are hot. When you are putting the 2 balls of Isomalt together to form the ball it will be hot. I recommend using heat resistant kitchen gloves.
Work in batches. If you want to do more than 2 bombs, I recommend working in batches, as opposed to doubling the amount you are working with as the Isomalt gets unmanageable VERY fast.
Coffee Bombs Ingredients
- ½ cups Isomalt
- 3-4 teaspoons Instant Coffee
- ¼ cups Powdered Coffee Creamer (in your chosen flavor)
- Brown Gel Food Coloring
How to Make Coffee Bombs
Place isomalt in a microwave safe bowl, preferably with a handle, and melt in the microwave per the directions on the package (about 30-seconds).
Place 1 tablespoon melted Isomalt into one half-sphere mold with the brown food coloring. Stir half-heartedly, then, using the bottom of your spoon, press the Isomalt up the sides of the mold, keeping it thick but even. Repeat with the other 3 bomb mold halves.
Place the Isomalt filled bomb molds into the freezer for 5 minutes.
Remove molds from the freezer and gently peel the silicone away from the Isomalt cup.
Add 1 to 1½ teaspoons instant coffee to 3 of the Isomalt cups. If you like stronger coffee add more.
If you are adding powdered creamer add in 1-4 teaspoons (Depending on how creamy you like your coffee), you can also add sugar or other sweeteners as well.
Heat a plate or a flat-bottom bowl in the microwave until the surface of the plate is warm to the touch.
Press one of the empty Isomalt cups open-side-down onto the flat portion of the warm plate for about 10 seconds. This will gently melt the rim of the cup.
Immediately press this warmed edge Isomalt cup to the top of one of the filled cups. This will join the two halves of the bomb. The join will be fragile, but the longer you let it sit, the more firm it will get.

What is your ratio for the brown food coloring? It didn’t mention anything in the directions.

Just add as many dropos as you want to depending on how dark you want the color to be- less drops will make it so you can see the coffe insiide
