Learn how to make iced coffee, German style. It's one of the best quick easy dessert recipes that's very traditional.
Why is this one of the best? Because it combines both coffee and ice cream. Yummy!
Easy because you just brew some extra coffee in the morning. Put it in the fridge and finish it off just before you need it in the evening. This works best with a good strong coffee.
For something a bit different and unique. Brew up some flavored coffee. Hazelnut Cream, Amaretto, Chocolate Mint, and Double Vanilla Cinnamon would make a scrumptious dessert.
For something a bit different and unique you can change the ice cream as well. Instead of vanilla, try chocolate. Even changing from a regular vanilla to a "double vanilla" will make a difference in the final drink.
Your iced coffee can also be served "all dressed up". Instead of just finishing it with whipped cream, add something on top of the whipped cream to match the ingredients. Put a chocolate wafer if there's chocolate in the coffee or ice cream. If you used Hazelnut Cream coffee, add a hazelnut or a hazelnut chocolate on top. If you used Chocolate Mint coffee, add some mint leaves on top of the whipped cream.
Be adventuresome. Get creative!
You can also use instant coffee, but, really, fresh-brewed is best!
