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). Ingredients:
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) |
Directions:
1. Place ice cream scoop into a decorative wine goblet or tall clear drinking glass.
2. Add coffee to fill glass 1/2-3/4 full (amount will vary based on size of glass).
3. 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.
4. Sprinkle with freshly grated good quality chocolate.
5. Stick a wafer cookie into the whipped cream off to the side.
6. 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.
