9 Buzzy Caffeinated Desserts to Deliciously Energize Your Evening

Coffee Cone Affogato

These mini chocolate-covered cones offer a bite-size coffee break! Add a tiny scoop of ice cream and top it off with a splash of espresso for a satisfying and energy-boosting sweet treat.

Coffee and Cream Bread Puddings

Fold a couple of spoonfuls of coffee crystals into the cream portion of this bread pudding recipe so each individually portioned dessert has the essence of java. Slather on cream cheese icing and sprinkle with chocolate-covered coffee beans for a dessert that will leave everyone buzzing about the chef.

Boozy Mocha Pops

Calling all iced coffee fans! These ice pops are the frozen version of your favorite cold brew—combined with vodka and Kahlua, and garnished with melted chocolate.

Opera Cake

If tiramisu came to life in layer cake form, it might taste like this over-the-top homemade almond cake. Brush each layer with a strong coffee syrup and slather with coffee buttercream, then pile them high and finish with a decadent chocolate ganache. It's a sweet work of art!

Chocolate Bread Pudding with Mocha Cream Sauce

The coffee boost here comes by way of the luxurious mocha sauce that's spooned over the top of the slow-cooked cocoa bread pudding. Be sure to serve it warm, and top with whipped cream and crumbled chocolate coffee beans if you like. (We do.)

Mochaccino Cupcakes

Brew your coffee nice and strong, then set aside a mug aside after your morning eye-opener to use in this dessert. Most will go into the batter of these chocolate cupcakes, and the final splash stars in the icing.

Mocha Cream Shake

Low in temperature and calories (just 158 per cup!), this frozen yogurt shake is made with sugar-free chocolate syrup and coffee. If you like, freeze coffee cubes to blend in instead of ice cubes so the flavors stay strong from first to last sip.

Tiramisu Cupcakes

Think of these tiramisu-flavor desserts as single-serving coffee poke cakes! After baking the chocolate chip cake batter, poke the cakes with a toothpick and spoon espresso over the top, allowing it to soak in before frosting with a coffee liqueur mascarpone.

Espresso Brownies

If the hefty amount of chocolate in this brownie recipe doesn't wake you up, the scoop of espresso powder and coffee liqueur in the batter sure will! One batch of these fudgy brownies yields 48, making this the perfect dessert to serve at your next (adults-only) potluck.
