We sometimes like to chug our drinks and sometimes, we like to eat them, mixed with chocolate, cake and everything sweet. If you’re looking for the latter, here’s what you should be digging your spoons and faces into.
{B}oozing with Sweetness: #LBBPicks Alcoholic Desserts in the City
Coco Kahlua Mousse Cake at Whipped
This one’s solely responsible for all our dark fantasies. Dark chocolate in combination with Kahlua, we’re fans of this dessert for its rich texture and generous amount of alcohol. While you’re at Whipped, you could also try the Bailey’s Alamode Cake or their Bailey’s home-made ice cream.

Bier Chocolate Cannelloni at 7 Degrees Brahaus
German brewery 7 Degrees Brauhaus does more than fresh delish brews and sausages to die for. They’re infusing their dessert with ice cream.

They also do an Amaretto Crème brûlée for those who don’t enjoy chocolate.
