How to Pair Coffee with Dessert

Colorful assorted desserts

Some people like to put sugar in their coffee, while others prefer a sugary snack alongside their coffee. Desserts are definitely made to be enjoyed with a kick of caffeine from a delicious cup of coffee, but what kind of dessert should you even have with different types of coffee?

Here’s how you can choose a sweet treat that’ll go perfectly with your cup of joe:

Espresso

Espresso has a rather bold flavor that can easily overpower the taste of your dessert, which is why it’s best to pair with something that’s just as big and intense, such as a rich chocolate cake or bittersweet chocolate truffles. More mellow flavors of milk chocolate might get lost in the full-bodied tasting experience of the shot of espresso. Fruit desserts can also work if they consist of hearty flavors.

Cappuccino

This milk-forward, mellow drink pairs amazingly well with more delicate desserts, like ice cream. However, taking a sip of cappuccino with ice cream might make it seem like you’re tasting the same thing at different temperatures instead of experiencing two extremely different flavors. You could even get ice cream with lots of texture using toppings such as nuts, fruits, or crunchy caramel.

Latte

Lattes are similar to cappuccinos regarding the proportion of milk to the amount of espresso inside the cup. You can follow the same guiding principle for choosing a dessert with a latte—go for soft, gentle flavors. Milk-chocolate desserts or cookies are an excellent pairing with this delicious drink.

Black coffee

Black coffee works with just about anything—any nut-based or chocolate dessert can work wonderfully with this strong beverage. Try to stay away from pairing cheesy or salty desserts with black coffee—even the creamiest of cheesecakes will clash with its flavor, or the cheese might completely overpower the coffee and make everything taste like salty cheese.

Mocha

Mocha is essentially the same as a latte but with a hint of chocolate lurking in its depths. This liquid dessert is best enjoyed on its own due to the sweetness, since mixing together too many sweets will make the experience confusing and less enjoyable overall.
