    Black Forest Coffee to Warm Up This Winter

    January 8, 2023 Filed Under: Drinks, Hot Drinks

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe
    Black Forest Coffee is a rich and creamy blend of coffee with chocolate and cherry, and of course, loads of whipped cream and a cherry on top.

    Black Forest Coffee combines the flavors of the decadent Black Forest Cake with hot coffee for a comforting cold weather treat.

    Black Forest Cake mostly originated in the Black Forest region of Germany known for its sour cherries. When chocolate was introduced to Europe, the two merged together for this iconic dessert.

    This coffee drink merges those wonderful flavors with hot coffee. Add on a healthy (or not so healthy) dab of whipped cream plus a cherry and more chocolate syrup on top.

    The result is a rich and creamy dessert like drink.

    Ingredients for Black Forest Coffee

    The ingredients are just what you would expect and you can add more or less of any of them for your perfect drink. One of the nice benefits of making your own coffee drinks at home.

    Hot Coffee - brew it any way you prefer, regular or decaf.

    Chocolate sauce - simple classic chocolate sauce you would use for making chocolate milk or drizzling on ice cream.

    Maraschino cherry with juice - if you want a more adult version of the drink, add kirshwasser or maybe some homemade cherry liqueur instead of the juice from the cherry jar.

    Whipped cream - homemade or from the can (don't tell my brother I don't always make my own)

    Sugar - or other sweetener if you want. The cherry juice and chocolate sauce already add plenty.

    Variation: Black Forest Iced Blended Coffee

    Instead of making it hot, you can use cold coffee (or cold brewed coffee) and mix it in a blender with chocolate sauce, cherry juice sweetener, and a handful of ice cubes.

    Top the same way as the hot drink.
