14 Desserts Every Coffee Addict Needs To Try

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at Colgate chapter.

There are two kinds of people in this world. Those who like coffee, and those who haven’t tried it yet.

Coffee addiction is a very real thing. And some studies even say that the caffeine in coffee is just as addictive as nicotine. But we want you to embrace your addiction. Have coffee in the morning, have coffee in the evening. Rub it on your steak, and pour it in your brownie batter.

Coffee addicts, this one is for you.

If iced coffee isn’t doing a good enough job of cooling you down, try these epic coffee ice pops. You can flavor them to your heart’s content, with hazelnut or caramel or chocolate, or just leave them black.

Coffee and chocolate are probably the perfect things to wake up to, especially when they’re inside of some seriously decadent pancakes. This recipe is not for the faint of heart.

These tiny whoopie pies remind us of those tiny mugs that you sip espresso out of. Both are adorable, and both are freakin delicious.

Chocolate chip cookies are an American classic, and coffee only makes them better. These cookies are just the right amount of crispy and chewy, with the perfect mocha flavor.

Ben & Jerry, meet coffee. Cold brew coffee works especially well for this treat, and then you customize it with all your favorite ice cream toppings. We suggest brownies, M&Ms, and hot fudge.

9. Tiramisu

Tiramisu is a classic Italian dessert, made with layers of coffee-soaked cookies and whipped cream. This is the perfect coffee treat to make next time you’re feeling fancy.

Some people think jello is weird, but those people clearly haven’t tried coffee jello. The texture is unique and refreshing and the flavor is, well, coffee.

11. Brown Sugar Coffee Cookies

These cookies taste amazing dipped in coffee, which is essentially coffee-ception. Because dipping cookies in milk is overrated.

You’ll never have to buy ice cream again after learning how to make this super simple recipe. We think it might even be better than Häagen-Dazs.
