As a coffee lover, there is nothing more comforting than curling up with a strong cup of joe and a delicious dessert. Fortunately, putting together a satisfying final course does not have to come hard.
If you are looking for the perfect dessert to pair with your coffee or perhaps to serve at your next get-together, look no further. Here is a list of five flavorful desserts that go well with your coffee.
Almond Cake
A delicate, moist tea-time favorite of many, almond cake is an incredibly delicious one-bowl recipe that requires a handful of common pantry ingredients and takes only a few minutes to throw together. As a non-chocolate dessert, it goes best with a mochaccino, your usual latte with a kick of chocolate syrup.
Top it with crunchy roasted almonds, making the perfect snack to accompany your coffee or serve on a special occasion.
Walnut Fudge Brownie
Easy to prepare but hard to share, these decadent-tasting brownies consist of crunchy, toasted walnuts and caramel chips that make a delicious dessert any day of the week. If you have a giant sweet tooth, you may top it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, salted caramel sauce, or whipped cream to enhance the flavor.
Add a cup of mashed ripe bananas to the brownie mix if you prefer to make it moister. It compliments best with an iced coffee drink, such as a frappe. Ensure not to overbake, or it may compromise the nice, fudgy texture.
Double Chocolate Chunk Cookies
Not many can go wrong with a chocolate dessert. Add a perfectly brewed cup of java, making an already delectable dessert taste even better. These chewy, flavorsome cookies give you a double dose of chocolate and are sure to disappear fast after coming off the oven—the intense cocoa flavor pairs well with a bolder, darker roast.
Raspberry Cinnamon Rolls
Soft and fluffy with a bit of spice, these heavenly sweet rolls can serve as a brunch classic and a mouth-watering light dessert. Top them with some cream cheese frosting and a little lemon zest to brighten them up. As Corrie cooks mentioned, you may add more spices by using nutmeg, pumpkin pie spice, or cloves to make it more aromatic and earthy.
The combination of raspberry, cinnamon, and vanilla makes it go well with various coffees, including vanilla-flavored or raspberry-flavored instant coffee.
Doughnuts
Many like to savor their coffee with a sweet treat, but no combo is as iconic as coffee and doughnuts. Whether you prefer light roast coffee or dark, a donut can perfectly offset your morning cup of coffee.
Whatever flavor you choose, be it vanilla glaze, apple, or maple bacon, you can never go wrong with this timeless pairing.
So there you have it! Most of these incredible coffee and dessert combinations are easy to put together and make the perfect treat for your taste buds at any moment. Just ensure you prepare a well-brewed cup of coffee using the right beans for a balanced final course. Happy brewing!
