Unbearably Good: Classic Iced Coffee With Ice Cream And Cream
Minor sins are allowed in summer – especially when they are as refreshing as an iced coffee. Just save yourself a visit to the ice cream parlor and enjoy a homemade ice coffee instead.
Ingredients For The Classic Iced Coffee Recipe (For 1 Glass)
- 200ml of coffee
- optional sugar and milk
- 1-2 scoops of vanilla ice cream
- whipped cream
- Chocolate sprinkles, brittle or cocoa powder for sprinkling
- Syrup for refining
Preparation:
Boil your coffee as usual. If you like, you can cook it a little stronger. The ice will dilute the flavor a bit. If you want to sweeten your coffee, you should do it while it is warm so that the sugar dissolves better. Put the coffee in the fridge for 1-2 hours.
First, fill some milk in a tall glass if you need it. Otherwise, you start with the coffee straight away. The glass should be tall enough to leave enough room for ice cream and whipped cream. Then put 1-2 scoops of vanilla ice cream on the coffee and top it off with a little whipped cream.
You can sprinkle a few chocolate sprinkles, some brittle or cocoa powder on the cream for the eye. Put a straw in and enjoy!
Tip: Instead of using vanilla ice cream, you can also prepare the iced coffee recipe with chocolate ice cream, caramel, nuts or stracciatella. It gets even tastier if you drizzle some caramel, chocolate or hazelnut syrup on top of the cream. A dash of Baileys or Amaretto also tastes heavenly in iced coffee.
Tip for anyone in a hurry: Fill freshly brewed coffee into ice cube trays and freeze them. You can put this in the iced coffee to cool down faster. Another plus: the iced coffee does not water down.
Healthy And Delicious: Low-Calorie Iced Coffee
Yes, there are quite a few calories in the classic iced coffee recipe. If you’re on a diet, you don’t have to do without it entirely. Use less vanilla ice cream and leave out the whipped cream. That tastes good too.
If you want to save even more calories, you can omit the ice cream altogether. Then cool the coffee, as usual, fill it with low-fat cow’s milk or soy milk in a glass, add a few ice cubes if you like and add a little caramel or vanilla syrup for more flavor.
