Chocolate and Vanilla are a match made in heaven, and these heavenly dessert recipes maximize on that delicious flavor combo. Discover over a dozen amazing ideas to inspire your next chocolate vanilla dessert.

There’s a reason why you can always opt for a swirl cone at the soft serve place. Chocolate and vanilla, while different, go together so naturally that they compliment each other in the best way. 

Heck, even in decadent pure chocolate recipes, we often include vanilla extract to enhance the flavor!

Just wander through my site and my love for chocolate is everywhere, from my cooking with chocolate guide to countless recipes. 

But I also love vanilla, and make my own extract because I use it voraciously and never run out. (It also tastes better). So what could be better than a collection of inspiring, delicious recipes that combine the two classics into one tasty dessert.
