Chocolate is indulgent, fruit sweets are classic, and vanilla is underappreciated. But what about the key to our hearts? Desserts that are made with coffee? They're rich, slightly bitter, never overly sweet, and there's no better way to get both a caffeine and sugar rush. If anything comes in coffee flavour, we want it on our plate, whether it's mocha or espresso.
Here are some of the most delicious coffee desserts:
Tiramisu cake
With a few shortcuts, this tiramisu cake has the signature tastes of the classic "pick me up" treat. Make a coffee liqueur and cream cheese filling by soaking a store-bought angel food cake in coffee and liqueur. It's completed with a coffee-infused whipped topping.
Coffee flan
Espresso is added to Spain's famous baked vanilla egg custard in this dish. It's a unique take on flan and one of the most popular flavours. An excellent choice for impressing dinner guests.
Coffee mousse
A terrific delicacy for special occasions, homemade coffee mousse is a tasty treat. It needs to chill for a few hours before serving, so make it before the main course. Drizzle chocolate sauce or sprinkle chocolate-coated coffee beans on top.
Mississippi mud ice cream pie
Make a thick and delectable Mississippi mud pie with coffee ice cream. Layers of fudge, nuts, and coffee ice cream are layered on top of a bourbon-flavoured vanilla ice cream base in this delectable frozen dessert.
Coffee jelly
A deliciously simple treat made with black coffee, gelatin, and sugar, coffee jelly was originally popular in the United Kingdom and the United States, but it is now mostly consumed in Japan. Whipped cream on top adds a nice finishing touch.
Chocolate covered coffee beans
Chocolate-covered coffee beans will add to your afternoon coffee routine. They're excellent tiny nibbles, and you can mix and match different types of chocolate with different roasted beans to keep the snack interesting.
Coffee caramels
This is the only recipe you'll ever need when candies are on your mind. Coffee caramels are chewy, buttery, and full of the smokey flavour that draws people to coffee. They're simple to create and an excellent way to get started with candy making.
Vegan mocha cake
There are a few components in this vegan mocha cake recipe that give it an unexpected flavour. You don't even need an electric mixer to prepare it because it's made with cocoa powder, coffee, maple syrup, and vinegar.
Chocolate cookies with mocha glaze
The recipe is straightforward, and the real challenge with these mocha-glazed chocolate cookies is not overindulging. It's one of the few recipes that necessitates the use of hot coffee. Use a pour-over brewer, stovetop espresso maker, or French press to make a delicious glaze.
Whoopie pies
Delicious chocolate filling accentuated with robust, steaming coffee is sandwiched between two vanilla whoopie pies. It's almost as much fun to make as it is to devour these crowd-pleasing delights.
