German Style Eiskaffee (Iced Coffee Drink) image

In Germany, there are charming areas outside many restaurants called a "Biergarten" with patio furniture in a garden setting where customers gather around 4pm for an hour or two to relax with either a beer or an iced coffee. This is the typical way an iced coffee is served in the spring & summer at German Beergardens in the Bonn area, where I currently live. It is also a popular choice as a dessert beverage. The measurements are approximate and will vary greatly based on the size of glass used. They also often stick a decorative long toothpick with metallic streamers to garnish as well as the cookie (we think they look like sparklers).

Time 5m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 scoop vanilla ice cream, good quality
1 cup strong brewed german coffee, chilled,to taste
1/2 cup whipped cream, sweetened,to taste
1 teaspoon grated sweet chocolate, to garnish,approximately
1 fancy wafer cookies (in a cylander or a heart shape)

Steps:

  • Place ice cream scoop into a decorative wine goblet or tall clear drinking glass.
  • Add coffee to fill glass 1/2-3/4 full (amount will vary based on size of glass).
  • Completely cover with a mountain of sweetened whipped cream (use the canned kind or a decorating bag to make decorative swirls)- the whipped cream should be plentiful and just start to peak over the top of the glass rim.
  • Sprinkle with freshly grated good quality chocolate.
  • Stick a wafer cookie into the whipped cream off to the side.
  • Serve with some sugar on the side (for those who want to add more sweetness- although the ice cream and the whipped cream pretty much cover this), a long spoon, and a straw.
