People often ask me what I like to drink with my bonbons, and I always smile and say: decaf cappuccino.
Yes, you read that right — decaf. Since I have high blood pressure, caffeine isn't really my friend. But honestly?
That doesn't take anything away from the experience. If anything, it makes it even more special.
Because decaf coffee can still be indulgent, silky, and the perfect companion to a bonbon — if you prepare it well. I like mine with plant-based milk foam, thick and creamy, and a sprinkle of cinnamon on top. The scent alone brings me joy.
To me, this bonbon is the definition of balanced luxury. The sweet almond marzipan base is rich yet soft — like a warm hug — and then comes the raspberry with its bright, tangy kick that wakes everything up. The flavors don’t compete, they dance. The marzipan melts gently on the tongue, while the raspberry tickles the palate. Together, they’re like two very different people who somehow understand each other perfectly from the first moment.
And when I pair it with a sip of creamy, decaf cappuccino, well… it feels like the afternoon itself is saying: “slow down, this moment is yours.”
The gentle bitterness of the coffee brings out the brightness of the raspberry, while the creaminess of the milk foam forms a bridge between the sweetness of the marzipan and the coffee’s subtle depth. Not too much, not too little. Just right. Like someone quietly sitting beside you, doing nothing more than simply being there.
I’ve realized you don’t need to be addicted to caffeine to enjoy the ritual of coffee. There’s no rush — just the slow discovery of flavors. And best of all, I don’t have to compromise my health to enjoy it.
So if you're in a similar boat — whether it's due to blood pressure, caffeine sensitivity, or simply craving slower afternoons — give this pairing a try. A decaf cappuccino with a raspberry marzipan bonbon. It’s comfort and adventure, all in one bite and one sip.
And here’s my gentle advice: never underestimate the joy of small pleasures.
Life doesn’t always live in the big moments — sometimes it’s hiding in a quiet cup of coffee and the heart of a bonbon.
