10+ Easy Coffee Desserts to Perk You Up
1. Tiramisu
Tiramisu is a scrumptious Italian dessert made with layers of ladyfingers and a sweet mascarpone filling. If you’re wondering where the coffee is — it’s in the ladyfingers! The cookies are soaked with espresso, making them soft and cake-like. It’s what gives tiramisu that delicious and aromatic flavor, too! Here’s the best part about tiramisu: it’s a no-bake dessert! There’s no need to be an expert in the kitchen to nail this recipe. With just a bunch of bowls and a whisk, you’ll be able to whip up a terrific tiramisu.
2. Affogato
If it’s a dessert/beverage you want, then this is the recipe for you. It may sound fancy, but affogato is perhaps the easiest coffee-based dessert there ever is. All you need are two basic ingredients! First up, you’ll need ice cream. Since we’re making an Italian dessert here, it’s ideal to use gelato. But in a pinch, regular ice cream will do! As for the flavor – you can’t go wrong with vanilla. Next, of course, is the coffee. A shot of instant espresso or brewed coffee both make fantastic options. Together, these two elements make a rich, creamy, and addictive coffee ice cream! It’s so good, you’ll want it again and again.

4. Espresso Chocolate Chip Cookies
Chocolate chip cookies are already perfect as they are but flavor them with coffee, and bam! We have a winner. The espresso enhances the chocolate in the cookies, giving them a bigger, bolder, better flavor.

Chocolate crinkles are my absolute favorite snack! I grew up eating these ultra moist, fudgy, and chewy sugar-coated cookies. Eating them as an adult gives me major childhood flashbacks! These guys are already super chocolatey, but espresso powder kicks things up a notch! These cookies are perfect for the holidays, but they’re so easy, you can make them any time. I enjoy watching them as they bake. As they expand, they form these little cracks all over the surface, which I think are just so pretty.
6. Espresso Brownies
If you are craving something extremely fudgy, this is the recipe for you. These brownies are everything you can ever ask for in a dessert. They’re insanely rich and ooey-gooey.
