Warm up to Autumn with cozy apple pie coffee delights
Some people eagerly await the first frosts. Rain and the cool temperatures outside offer an excellent excuse to stay indoors. A warm blanket, a good book, or a movie with a loved one—what more could you want for a successful weekend in November? A mug of a sweet and warming drink would be a delightful addition.
Apple pie coffee is ideal for a relaxing morning with a book or a long-anticipated chat with a friend. Sweet, aromatic, and with an autumn vibe—coffee with apple mousse gently stimulates and undoubtedly lifts your spirits. It's something special for all autumn enthusiasts.
Coffee and dessert 2-in-1
Try ready-made recipes if you're craving coffee with sweet additions but don't want to experiment too much. You can confidently add caramel, vanilla, or hazelnut syrup to the popular Viennese coffee. Variants with liqueurs, such as amaretto or advocaat, are also tried and true. You can serve this coffee with ice cream or whipped cream.
What should you be careful about when preparing coffee with additions?
From Pumpkin Spice Latte to gingerbread coffee—the autumn ambience encourages sweet coffee experiments. However, caution is advised. Coffee doesn't pair well with everything, and a small oversight can result in a total disaster. A lumpy, curdled drink won't elevate your mood or please your guests.
Be particularly cautious when adding syrups or fruit purees to coffee. Making coffee with passion fruit, mango, or apple mousse is possible only if you first add the mousse to warm milk, not directly to hot coffee.
It's also important to remember that a stimulating drink won't pair well with overheated plant-based milk, such as oat or coconut milk.
