If you are not a fan of coffee and/or if you need to omit alcohol to make this suitable for children who will be at the table, you can use puréed strawberries or a double-strength cocoa drink (by dissolving the cocoa ingredients in half the milk/cream/water usually required for the recipe or packet) to use as substitute dips instead of the coffee or coffee with rum or brandy.
