You want a coffee-flavoured dessert, but not a heavy one that takes ages to prepare. Many coffee desserts are rich or require lots of prep, while you're actually looking for something light and well balanced.

Coffee mousse is a great choice then. This creamy dessert combines a full coffee flavour with a soft, light texture. With this recipe you can easily make a coffee mousse that works perfectly as a dinner finisher or a treat alongside your coffee.

What is coffee mousse?

Coffee mousse is a light dessert where the flavour of coffee takes centre stage. It usually consists of strong coffee or espresso mixed with a creamy base of whipped cream and egg or an alternative. This combination creates a soft, mousse-like texture that feels light but is full of flavour.

Unlike desserts like tiramisu or coffee pudding, coffee mousse is less heavy. The texture is airier and almost melts on your tongue. That makes it a lovely choice as a dinner finisher, especially if you want to serve something coffee-flavoured

You fancy some coffee, but a regular latte feels a bit too mild. You want something creamy, something with chocolate, without it turning into a sickly sweet drink like in some coffee bars.

A mocha latte is exactly what you're looking for. The combination of strong coffee, warm milk and chocolate creates a full flavour that feels comforting yet balanced. With this recipe, you can easily make a mocha latte at home that's perfect for a relaxed coffee moment.

You’re craving something warm and spicy. That kind of chai latte you usually only order in a coffee shop. At home, you try it with a tea bag, but the result is disappointing. No foam, no depth, no experience.

But it’s actually not difficult at all to make a good chai latte yourself. With a few simple ingredients, you can quickly prepare a fragrant, creamy cup. Just the way you like it.

What exactly is a chai latte?

A chai latte is a warm drink based on black tea, milk and spices. It originally comes from India, where it’s known as masala chai. Masala means ‘spice mix’ and chai simply means ‘tea’. In India, this tea has been drunk for centuries, often brewed with milk, sugar and a powerful blend of spices like cinnamon, cardamom, ginger and clove.

The chai latte as we know it here is a Western version. It combines the spicy base of masala chai with the frothy milk texture of a classic latte. The result is a warming, aromatic drink with a smooth texture and a rich flavour experience.

Fancy something sweet with your coffee? Raisin coffee rolls are soft, lightly sweet buns that taste delicious with a warm cup of coffee or tea. The raisins add a fruity bite and make the whole thing extra moist. You can easily bake them yourself with a few basic ingredients and a bit of patience. Fresh from the oven they’re at their best, but even cooled down they’re a treat.

Why do we call them coffee rolls?

Raisin coffee rolls get their name from the time they’re most often eaten, namely with coffee. They are soft, lightly sweet buns filled with raisins or custard that perfectly suit a coffee moment in the morning or afternoon.

They’re just sturdy enough to eat with your hands, but airy enough not to feel heavy. In the Netherlands, coffee rolls have been popular in bakeries and supermarkets for years, but homemade ones are truly irresistible.
