Coffee Cognac Cooler image

From *The World Encyclopedia of Coffee* -- The phrase *Dessert in a Glass* is oft-used, but this recipe sets a new std for it. Even the intro seems to apologize for it when it says "This drink is unabashedly decadent & not for those counting calories." *Enjoy* !

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup cold coffee (strong dark roast)
6 tablespoons cognac or 6 tablespoons brandy
1/4 cup coffee liqueur
1/4 cup double cream (heavy cream)
2 teaspoons sugar (See note below)
1 cup crushed ice
2 scoops coffee ice cream
chocolate shavings (garnish) (optional)

Steps:

  • Put 1st 6 ingredients into a shaker & shake well.
  • Pour equally into 2 tall glasses & gently add a scoop of coffee ice cream to each. Sprinkle w/choc shavings (if using) & serve w/a long-handled spoon.
  • NOTE FROM ME: I entered this recipe as written, but feel the need to ask a question. Is it just me or is it more than just a little silly to use 2 tsp of sugar in this recipe?.
  • COOKS NOTE ON RECIPE: "The coffee liqueur can be either cream-based (Kahlua) or non-cream based (Tia Maria).".
