Food comas: we've all been there. There's nothing worse than polishing off a delicious dessert and then feeling like you immediately need to curl up in bed and sleep for a week because you feel so full up. It's even worse when that happens mid-afternoon. With this list of desserts, there is no danger of you being sent to sleep considering the key ingredient is coffee - the bean that laughs in the face of sleep. Some of these puds are simply smothered in a coffee flavoured glaze; others are so rich with a coffee flavour, if you ate them, it's likely that you would never sleep again.
