California Coffee with Ice Cream and Brandy

Posted by becr zone 9 CA on Tue, Sep 2, 08 at 16:26

CALIFORNIA COFFEE WITH ICE CREAM AND BRANDY Absolutely delectable, and so easy! Reminiscent of the popular German Eiskaffe (Creamy Iced Coffee), but with a kick. This cool and creamy adult coffee is perfect for sipping on the veranda on a balmy afternoon, or as an after dinner drink. Serve with a wafer cookie, a straw and a spoon. May be made sans alcohol, if desired. Enjoy!

2 tablespoons brandy
2/3 cup hot strong coffee
1 scoop good quality chocolate ice cream or coffee ice cream or vanilla ice cream (about 1/4 cup)
whipped cream
cocoa powder
wafer cookie
sugar (optional, to taste)

Directions

1. For each serving, pour 2 tablespoons brandy into a mug or heat safe glass.

2. Fill 2/3 full with hot strong coffee (see note below).

3. Top with 1 scoop chocolate, coffee or vanilla flavor ice cream.

4. Finish with a generous dollop of whipped cream, a dusting of cocoa powder, and a wafer cookie on the side. Offer sugar, to individual taste.

5. Serve with an iced-tea spoon, and a straw for sipping. Enjoy!

6. Note: Pour coffee over ice, if desired.
