A scorching Americano to wake up, a tart espresso during a break, a gentle latte in the evening at home – each drink is good in its own way. And if you add dessert to it, the pleasure of a coffee break doubles. We found out which sweets go with different types of coffee, and we are sharing a cozy selection with you.
Espresso and Americano
A rich Americano or espresso goes well with a freshly baked sweet croissant. This is one of the most popular options for a traditional French breakfast. This combo is also suitable for a snack when you want to replenish your energy reserves in the middle of a busy day. Dip the pastry in coffee or enjoy the contrast of sweetness and pleasant bitterness.
During a break or after a busy workday, stop by the nearest Perekrestok for some aromatic coffee and an almond-filled croissant. This fall, this delicious duo costs only 159 rubles.
Cappuccino
Cappuccino with fluffy milk foam is a great pair for cheesecake. The delicate taste of coffee and the light texture of the dessert complement each other harmoniously.
Try making cheesecake at home. For the base, use shortbread cookies ground with butter and nutmeg, and for the filling, a mixture of cheese, eggs, sugar and cream.
Interesting fact:
Ancient Greece had its own version of cheesecake. The first mentions of the dessert date back to 230 BC. It resembled a casserole made of cottage cheese, with honey and flour. And the modern recipe for cheesecake based on Philadelphia cream cheese was invented in New York, at the fashionable Turf restaurant on Broadway.
Latte
The light coffee-creamy taste of latte will complement the mousse cake with berries. It does not require baking and is made from simple ingredients: shortbread cookies, cream cheese, fresh or frozen berries and whipped cream.
Adjust the sweetness of the dessert to your taste: add sugar or natural sweetener in the required amount. Decorate the finished cakes with fruit slices, mint leaves or dark chocolate shavings.
Flat White
Flat White is an uncompromising combination of rich coffee flavor and the tenderness of milk. Try it with brownie: the classic chocolate-nut dessert complements the slightly tart drink well.
It has a thin, crispy crust, and the inside is tender and slightly moist. Its flavor is especially vivid with a cup of coffee.
