Common Coffee and Dessert Pairs

While a cup of coffee keeps your adrenaline kicking, it is more fun when you have an accompanying dessert with it. If you are organizing a dinner or lunch event, you must pick up the best dessert possible. The choice of dessert should be such that people are satisfied yet not complain of being too full. No need to stress over it, though, as we share some common coffee and dessert pairs that work in any situation. 

Chocolate chunk cookies 

Whatever the occasion, a chocolate dessert blends well with a cup of coffee. Just remember, though, that these cookies are going to be gobbled up sooner than you would think. The intense cocoa flavor of these cookies is contrasting with a bold and dark roast coffee cup. 

You could also opt for chocolate chip sesame cookies as they are less sweet. Just make sure you have the best grind and brew coffee maker, as this combination suits only the perfect espresso cup. 

Cinnamon crumb cake 

A coffee cake ethically should be the best choice with your coffee. But this combination ups the standard a little bit more. It has that classic crunchy cinnamon crumble, which makes it melt in your mouth. You can accentuate its Cinnamon flavor by choosing a coffee brew with the same taste. 

Lemon Ginger Blueberry muffins 

When it comes to desserts, we all agree that muffins are the best alternative to go with Coffee. These muffins are also useful when you crave some light dessert and do not wish to go overboard. The citrus tones of these muffins make them an absolute winner, and if your guest list includes fitness conscious people, you should consider them.

Cheesecake

Again, this option works best if you or your guests don’t have too much of a sweet tooth. The airy texture of these cheesecakes makes them light enough that you may enjoy after a hearty meal. For best results, top your cheesecake with some powdered sugar. This would blend with the bitter taste of your coffee to lend a superlative drink experience.

Baked donuts with Vanilla Glaze

Creamy Vanilla flavor is something that is universally loved. The baked mini donuts are just adorable and pretty suitable for this purpose. Plus, baking the donuts is not a lengthy affair, so you can be done with making them with minimal preparation as well. 

To make a better impression, you could add cream to your coffee as this combination is something that people would find hard to resist.

Conclusion

Coffee after dinner is an ethereal combination. However hard you may try, you just can’t resist the combination. Perk your cuppa with these yummy desserts, and won't your guests be pleased. Though you could always serve the singular coffee brew, adding the desserts make it all the more special. 

More so when people realize the kind of effort you have put into making it work. Before planning anything, though, it is advisable to get the hang of the general taste preferences of people expected. This is to avoid feeling dejected later on, as some people may not be open to this idea.
