Whether you use it to make decadent desserts (like this Chocolate Fudge Layer Cake with Caramel Buttercream or this Pumpkin Spice Latte Pie with Coffee Liqueur Whipped Cream), an incredible gravy, or a coffeehouse-worthy drink (we're looking at you, Maple Pecan Latte), you're going to want to save this collection of leftover coffee recipes.

Chocolate Fudge Layer Cake with Caramel Buttercream Recipe

If you're looking for an easy, decadent, and oh-so-yummy chocolate fudge cake, this is the perfect recipe. The key to this layer cake's lusciously messy look? A short spell in the freezer, which allows the ganache to set over the cake layers so that the buttercream can be spread on top of it.

Irish Coffee Jell-O Shots Recipe

If you're looking for an easy way to get the St. Patrick's Day party started, look no further than these Irish coffee inspired Jell-O shots, featuring layers of Kahlúa-spiked coffee, Baileys Irish cream, and Irish whiskey. We also included a bit of pecan liqueur (because it's delicious), but feel free to replace it with an additional 1/4-cup Baileys.

Breakfast Disco Fries

Breakfast Disco Fries Recipe

Like breakfast nachos, the disco fries are a massive meal that's fit for a crowd, yet easy enough to make on a lazy Sunday morning. Rip open a package of frozen french fries (or heck, use those leftover takeout fries from last night), dump them on a sheet pan, and bake until crispy.

Caffeinated Yogurt Bowl Recipe

This affogato yogurt bowl delivers chocolatey coffee, a caffeine kick, and all of the nutritional value of yogurt. Add orange segments for a little zing, or get creative and add a tart fruit, like raspberries. There is never a time when eating dessert for breakfast isn't ideal, especially when it's as healthy as a yogurt bowl.

Nutella Tiramisu in Jars

Nutella Tiramisu

Nutella Tiramisu in Jars Recipe

In this updated version of the classic Italian dessert, richly flavored Nutella adds to the decadence of creamy mascarpone, and the single-serving jars mean you don't even have to share. You'll need six 1/5-liter jars such as Weck, or you can use tall 1-cup canning jars.

Leftover Coffee Redeye Gravy Recipe

There are a few different stories about how redeye gravy got its name, and part or all of them are true, I'm sure. Some say Andrew Jackson requested gravy "as red as the cook's eyes." For others, it's the oily fat that rises to the top when you add the coffee, resembling the red veins in your eyeball.

Pumpkinception Vegan Pumpkin Spice Latte in a Pumpkin Cup Recipe

This vegan pumpkin spice latte recipe uses every part of the pumpkin, including the seeds (which become a surprisingly satisfying pumpkin seed milk)' the flesh (which adds sweet heft to the brew), and the hulls (which become the cutest little serving cups ever). It even comes with a bonus snack in the form of an ersatz spent-seed granola.

Peppermint Mocha Latte

Peppermint Mocha Latte Recipe

Peppermint oil, much more concentrated than alcohol-diluted extract, lends bold mint flavor with just a couple of drops. Look for it at Whole Foods or natural foods stores in the essential oils section. While we love very dark chocolates (80% percent or more), bittersweet works best here, making for rounder, smoother flavor.

Maple Pecan Latte Recipe

While the recipe calls for pecan butter as an ode to the Starbucks Maple Pecan Latte, you can swap this out for any nut butter of choice (like almond).
