What Do You Eat With Chocolate Babka?
With its buttery crumb and decadent chocolate filling, a babka can be enjoyed as both a dessert and a sweet breakfast treat. Slices of babka pair perfectly with a warm cup of coffee or tea.
These babkas also make a wonderful addition to a brunch spread and are more than satisfying as an afternoon snack. In our house, a babka rarely lasts long enough to go stale. But if it does, that’s the perfect excuse to turn leftover slices into Bread Pudding or French Toast.
Make-Ahead
A freshly baked chocolate babka is hard to beat. If you need to store your babkas, they can be kept for a couple of days. It’s recommended to store them without the additional chocolate sauce on top. Here’s how to do it:
- To Store: Seal the cooled chocolate babkas in an airtight container or tightly wrap them in plastic wrap. Keep the loaves at room temperature and enjoy them within 2-3 days.
- Freezing: You can freeze the baked and cooled babkas, tightly wrapped in plastic wrap, for up to 3 months. Thaw the loaves in the fridge or at room temperature before serving.
- To Reheat: If you’d like to warm up babka slices, you can microwave them for a few seconds. Alternatively, you can put them in the toaster oven wrapped in foil.
