Coffee-Inspired Delights: 9 Recipes to Celebrate International Coffee Day
Coffee-Peanut Meringue Cake
This Coffee-Peanut Meringue Cake is a nutty mix-up of the traditional French dacquoise, almonds and hazelnuts are swapped out for finely chopped peanuts. Roasted notes from coffee in the buttercream complement the peanut meringue, and the creamy-crunchy combination leads to a divine sensory experience.
Kahlúa Coffee Brownies
With dark-roast granules in every layer, these Kahlúa Coffee Brownies are a coffeeholic’s ultimate indulgence. A splash of Kahlúa in the fudgy brownie base highlights the rich caramel notes of our Biscoff-studded buttercream. A final coat of boozy ganache takes these brownies to the next level of caffeine-laced decadence.
Mocha Ricotta Cake with Mocha Mascarpone Frosting
Chocolate and coffee lovers, unite! This easy stir-together cake has a soft and delicate crumb that stays moist for days thanks to BelGioioso® Ricotta con Latte® in the batter, and it only gets better when layering it with generous swaths of rich and creamy whipped frosting accented with silky-smooth BelGioioso® Mascarpone Cheese.
Vanilla-Coffee Scones
Inspired by the strong and sweet Vietnamese coffee, these Vanilla-Coffee Scones have a luxurious taste of vanilla running throughout the dough and condensed milk garnish courtesy of Rodelle Vanilla Paste.
Coffee and Cream Marbled Coffee Cake
Enriched with bittersweet chocolate and espresso, this Coffee and Cream Marbled Coffee Cake will take your morning beverage to new, delightful heights. Espresso Streusel adorns the top of this creamy, rich cake, adding a textured crunch to each bite.
Café Mocha Cookies
Our Café Mocha Cookies positively crackle with ground chocolate-covered coffee beans and freshly brewed espresso in the dough, but for the ultimate decadent finish, we opted for a generous swoop of dulce de leche.
Macchiato Chocolate Tart
Next time you brew a cup of espresso, keep those leftover grounds. You’ll be one step closer to creating this outrageously indulgent Macchiato Chocolate Tart with a latte art-inspired design. We add the grounds directly into an easy, food processor-made crust for notes of bitter, smoky espresso. This caffeine-packed crust complements the rich swirls of milk chocolate, caramelized white chocolate, and pure white chocolate ganache, for a decadent yet balanced tart.
Coffee Tres Leches Cakes
For these Coffee Tres Leches Cakes, luscious mini pound cakes get soaked in the classic trinity of milks, with shots of espresso and coffee liqueur added in for good measure. Topped with meringue and a sticky coffee syrup drizzle, this cake offers custard-like texture with oodles of coffee flavor.
Tiramisu Layer Cake
Our Tiramisu Layer Cake riffs on the Italian classic. We kept our favorite familiar elements—Mascarpone Filling and coffee syrup—and added a few new surprises, like a thick cap of Coffee Ganache and white chocolate-filled Mascarpone Frosting.
