#SundaySupper

#SundaySupper is celebrating coffee today! This week’s event is hosted by Wendy of Wholistic Woman and I am joining with a recipe for Eiskaffee, German Coffee with Ice Cream.

Eiskaffee (German Coffee with Ice Cream)

The transition to autumn is beginning here in Virginia, but we have still had quite a few days in the 90s˚F. Yesterday was the first day of Oktoberfest in Munich and no better way to celebrate the still hot days than with a glass of Eiskaffee! The German Eiskaffee takes iced coffee a step further with a scoop or two of vanilla ice cream and whipped cream. It is great way to combine a needed caffeine kick with a delicious, chilled dessert.

I kept this recipe simple, but Eiskaffee is open to variations. Change up the flavor with chocolate ice cream or even coffee ice cream if you just really love coffee. I topped the Eiskaffee with Schlagsahne (whipped cream) and grated chocolate, but you can also use sprinkles, cocoa powder, or a light sprinkling of ground cinnamon. Want to make this a more kid-friendly treat? Swap out the coffee for chocolate milk to make Eisschokolade with a drizzle of chocolate syrup on top.

To help keep the drink extra chilled, place the serving glasses in the freezer for 5 minutes or so before assembling. I often keep the whipped cream unsweetened, but do occasionally add a pinch or two of vanilla sugar to add a little extra sweetness and flavor.
