Why is coffee served with dessert and what dessert goes well with coffee?
Coffee, like tea, can be a great way to cut the sweetness of dessert by adding a little bitterness. There are quite a few desserts that pair well with coffee, like tiramisu for example, but everyone seems to agree that coffee and chocolate make quite the couple. However, there is always the option of turning your coffee into dessert.
Here’s what you need for this coffee:
- 4 cups of strong coffee
- 2 cups of fresh Strawberries (washed – rinsed and divided – see instructions)
- 1/8 cup of Stevia for baking
- 4 Tablespoons of Cocoa Powder
- 4 teaspoons of Stevia
- 3 squares of Chocolate Almond Bark – 2 melted and 1 shaved for garnish
- Chocolate shavings for garnish
Here is how to pull it all together:
- Brew 4 cups of strong coffee and set it aside.
- Make some strawberry syrup and chocolate covered strawberries. (Instructions are below)
- When everything is set, pour the coffee into 4 mugs about 3/4 of the way full and add a splash of cream into it.
