Coffee is for every season of the year. Every day is a chance to start your day right with your favorite hot or cold coffee beverage. While that is a fact, what food goes best with your cup of joe is up for debate.
Just as milk goes with cookies, there are certain foods that go best with coffee and don’t clash with your overall taste experience. There’s no doubt that coffee has a strong flavor with a distinct aroma. This makes it a unique type of beverage that needs the right flavor combination with your edible item of choice.
For example, have you ever heard of anyone drinking coffee while eating sushi? Didn’t think so. With that said, let’s take a look at what goes best with coffee and why.
Coffee and Sweet Bread
Sweet breads like cinnamon rolls, muffins, doughnuts, crepes, and pancakes with syrup are just some of the popular pairings with coffee. Why does this work so well? The sweetness infused in a carbohydrate helps balance the strong acidity contained in coffee. The sweet bread doesn’t overpower the coffee, making it go well together, and is a highly addictive combo.
Coffee and Cream (Ice Cream)
Coffee and cream is a must for many java enthusiasts, so it makes sense that making ice cream with coffee would work well together. Iced coffee retains its loveable flavor and making it into a creamy bowl of ice cream is a popular choice in the grocery aisle. Even people who don’t drink coffee regularly will enjoy coffee-flavored ice cream.
Coffee and Chocolate
Coffee and chocolate offers you a double shot of flavor that is well worth every bite. Why does it work well together? The complexities of the coffee flavor enhance the chocolate in a unique way. Both flavors are distinct and when combined, neither is overpowered by the other, resulting in a deliciously balanced combination. This is why mochas and chocolate tiramisus are so popular.
