What is the name of coffee with ice cream?
As with other drinks that are popular in many countries, there is some confusion with the names. That is, it can be called differently.
- Affogato is the most famous name, an Italian dessert that is popular in both Europe and America. It is a ball of ice cream lying on top or “drowned” in a shot of espresso. Sweet and thick, this dessert is usually eaten with a spoon, since even if the ice melts, it will create a thick, sweet foam, and there will be a lot of it. It's better to enjoy the mixture of tastes.
- Glace is an Austrian version, and in Russian this cocktail can also be called glace or glasse, we haven’t decided yet, any spelling is acceptable. This is closer to a drink than a dessert. But they prepare it in different ways, serving both chilled and quite hot, although more often they are cooled. Sometimes alcohol or beaten yolk is added.
- Eiskaffee – Eiskaffee, a German cocktail option. In this case, condensed milk is also used, ice cream is placed at the bottom of the glass, then a coffee-milk mixture, and a cap of whipped creamy foam on top.
Interesting fact: to the question, quite often found in scanwords or crosswords, about coffee with ice cream, 5 or 6 letters, the answer is just “glaze” or “glazed”.
Iced coffee with white chocolate, ice cream and Baileys liqueur
Compound:
- 2 eggs;
- 2 egg yolks;
- 6 tbsp. l. powdered sugar;
- 300 g white chocolate;
- 600 ml milk;
- 300 ml fresh cream;
- Baileys liqueur;

- Next, in a steam bath, melt white chocolate with 3 tbsp. l. milk.
- The remaining milk must be brought to a boil and, stirring quickly, add the egg mixture.
- Transfer the mixture to a steam bath and cook until thickened.
- As soon as the milk-egg mixture looks like thick sour cream, add white chocolate and mix.
- Remove the ingredients from the steam bath, cover with parchment paper and let cool for 10-15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, beat the cream until smooth and fluffy at medium speed and add to the cooled mixture.
- Place all ingredients in the freezer for 1-2 hours. To avoid going this long way, the listed ingredients can be replaced with creamy ice cream.
- We brew strong coffee for 4 servings according to any recipe. It is best to use natural coffee varieties, for example Arabica, since an instant coffee drink will not impart the desired taste to the finished ice cream.

- Meanwhile, prepare wide glass glasses.
- When the strong coffee has cooled sufficiently, pour it into glasses. Place a scoop of ice cream on top and pour liqueur over it.
- Generously sprinkle the finished iced coffee with powdered sugar and enjoy the taste of the wonderful drink.
Choice of flavors
Of course, this addition is placed without a waffle cup or cone, and better yet, without glaze (it is usually made from very cheap chocolate, and will create an oily film with an artificial taste). And usually soft varieties are not suitable, as they are too fatty and melt quickly. And so you can choose almost anything you want:
- Chocolate;
- Coconut;
- Vanilla;
- Creme brulee;
- With iris;
- Caramel;
- Lemon.
You can experiment with other flavors, but fruity ones are usually less suitable. Well, different fillings may also not be very suitable (raisins, chocolate chips), but nuts can be interesting.
Ice cream coffee recipes
As you already understand, you can prepare such a cocktail in various ways. And the ingredients can be many and different, the basic ones are coffee base (you should make it stronger) and creamy ice cream, but you can add almost everything that, in principle, goes with these products, serve hot or cold.
On average, for a cup of about 300 ml you can put about half a glass or a heaped tablespoon.
Basic recipe
Brew the coffee base the way you want - in a coffee machine, in a Turk or geyser, in a filter, or even just steam it in a cup. It is better to get rid of the grounds, as you will want to drink the sweet foam to the bottom, and the coffee sediment is not good for your health, and it is simply not pleasant. If you want a very sweet cocktail, dissolve the sugar in the still hot liquid. Pour into a cup and top with ice-cold dessert. Enjoy!
Do not stir the ingredients in the cup. And it’s better not to let the ice cream completely melt, it will turn into a greasy warm foam. Although, you can try, some people like it that way.
Recipe for coffee with chocolate ice cream
The chocolate taste goes well with coffee, so you can safely add this treat to your espresso or Americano. The result will be a very interesting shade, a slight bitterness from cocoa, a richer texture of taste. Perhaps you should add a spoonful of sugar. Alternatively, you can sprinkle with grated cocoa or pour over syrup.
Cappuccino with ice cream
This in itself is a very delicate, milky drink, so if you add ice cream or creme brulee, there will be a lot of soft, sweet foam, and the coffee tones may get lost a little. It's better not to put too much, but a small island of cold dessert in a cup of cappuccino is definitely a good idea. The fair sex and teenagers really like it.

Alternatively, you can add a tablespoon of flavored liqueur or light port, but if you plan to drive, you may want to skip the alcohol.
Serve with a spoon. And pour espresso immediately before serving so that the cold dessert does not have time to melt from the hot liquid.

Calorie content of coffee with ice cream
The energy value of this drink mainly depends on additives, both basic and additional, such as liqueurs, syrups, sprinkles, toppings, etc.
A black Americano contains virtually no calories, about 2 in an Americano or espresso, and about 4 in a cup of Turkish drink. Compared to the daily norm, this is so small that they can’t be counted at all.
But the calorie content of a frozen treat can vary greatly depending on how much fat and sweetener it contains. The number of calories per 100 grams in some types (remember that the recipe may vary from different manufacturers):
- Dairy – 128;
- Creamy – 176;
- Vanilla – 220;
- Chocolate – 250.
On average, up to 50 g of a sweet product is placed on a large cup, that is, divide the figure by two.
Let's look at the calorie content of other supplements:
- A spoonful of granulated sugar – 20 kcal;
- A tablespoon of liqueur or rum – 50 kcal;
- Topping with 10g is 28 calories.
Thus, the approximate calorie content of ice cream is 140-150 kcal.
The benefits and harms of coffee with ice cream
Coffee drinks are good for health, as the beans contain many vitamins and minerals that have a beneficial effect on the body. But a frozen dairy product is not just milk, butter and granulated sugar. Here's how a serving of cocktail coffee affects your well-being:
- Fills with energy . Not only does it have nutritional value, but it is also an incredible source of energy. It is rich in carbohydrates, fats and proteins, which our body needs to produce energy.
- Stimulates the brain . The supplement activates the production of thrombotonin, which is a hormone of happiness and helps reduce stress levels in the body. Milk contains L-tryptophan, which is a natural tranquilizer and helps relax the nervous system and fight insomnia.
- Saturates with minerals . Minerals such as calcium and phosphorus are found in every serving of the cold dessert. Calcium is an essential mineral for us as it maintains bone strength and reduces the risk of kidney stones. In addition, minerals can reduce mood swings and alleviate PMS.
- Is a source of vitamins . Did you know that this sweet, cold treat contains vitamins A, B6, B12, C, D and E, as well as vitamin K, which prevents blood clotting. In addition, the sweet treat also contains niacin, thiamine and riboflavin.
