Whilst drinking coffee is all well and good, sometimes coffee desserts are another great alternative way to get your coffee fix.
Coffee works extremely well with a number of dessert dishes where its java notes can complement baked and creamy desserts. From chocolate cake and brownies to tiramasu they can all benefit from a touch of coffee.
Coffee is a perfect compromise in balancing the sweet notes of a pudding whilst adding extra depth of flavour.
Try one of these coffee desserts when you fancy a pick me up. All these recipes require coffee but in differing forms. Whether it be coffee beans, a freshly brewed espresso or instant coffee. We have touched on the classics like tiramisu, to ice cream, granita and some very unusual looking candy floss coffee cups.
If you’re looking for that double fix, why not have an espresso on the side, the perfect accompaniment.
