Coffee with Vanilla Ice Cream

Finally the apartment is moved and finally, you can expect more frequent posts here again. This is just a quickie here but a delicious version of a coffee drink good for afternoon coffee and cake, or as it was in this case, a 1:00 am coffee to get some more energy to finish up cleaning the house. I recommend the afternoon coffee and cake version though ;-)

Some people started calling me the "Espresso Police" so i'll be sure to be posting more coffee drinks here in the future.

Enjoy!


Ingredients:

hot coffee (or a long espresso)
vanilla ice cream (i'm a fan of the Haagen Dazs vanilla)
optional tablespoon of brandy or cognac


Instructions:

Prepare coffee the way you always do. I don't drink filter coffee but if that's what you like, go for it. I'd recommend a long single or double espresso for each person.

If you're choosing to add some brandy or cognac, do that before adding the ice cream, and stir. I don't add sugar to this type of coffee because the ice cream will sweeten it enough.

One big scoop of vanilla ice cream per coffee would be about right.
