this was a wonderful pick me up in the afternoon. i always have cold coffee in the fridge, the ice cream and whipped cream made this a rich sweet snack. chocolate shavings gave it a mocha taste. very enjoyable

I served this beautiful drink to a group of ladies I really wanted to impress. And was everyone amazed! There were several non-coffee drinkers in the group, but after seeing how pretty the drink was, they changed their mind. I did make one change: I used hazelnut flavored coffee with a hazelnut cookie. This is a wonderful end to a great meal too. It makes your guests feel special.

This is PERFECT!! I studied in Germany and travelled there and in Austria and Switzerland. This is one of the special things I brought back and I truly love it. Your recipe is the same as that of my German mother-in-law, except that we sweeten the coffee while it is hot, then let it cool before putting the Eiskaffee together. I have made this for many friends and every single one has loved it as I do. I think Food.com should allow an exclusive 6 stars for this.

My neighbor's children went to Dunkin Donuts and bought this iced coffee shake with whipped cream on top. When my 7-year-old saw that, he immediately wanted what they had, then I thought of trying this recipe. It is a yummy, creamy blend of flavors. Luckily, I had Dallmayr coffee, and all of the ingredients at hand to make Eiskaffee. Thank you for sharing this classic iced coffee recipe.

Ooooh, this is soo good! And so easy! It's a bit like a coffee milkshake, only better! I forgot to chill the coffee and just used some coffee left after guests had left. So it wasn't very "eis", but it sure hit the spot after a long day of cooking and cleaning and entertaining! Thank you so much for posting, HeatherFeather! Made for Comfort Cafe. UPDATE: I've since made this again, this time using cold coffee as called for, and it was even better. I also made on for DH using chocolate ice cream instead of vanilla, and he loved it! Thanks again, HeatherFeather!

My grandmother in Switzerland used to make this for us in the summmer. She even had those special tall ice-cream spoons, that at the same time were straws so that you could drink the coffee without having to finish off first all the whipped cream on the top. I cannot thank you enough for bringing up those sweet memories of my childhood.

When I was 15 I went to Germany and stayed with a family there and was served this wonderful drink. I was hooked but never knew exactly the measurements or procedure, so ended up coming home and making my own version which wasn't as good as the real thing. This is a very authentic rendition of this classic German treat. I agree with you that the quality of the ingredients makes the difference in how well this turns out. However, it also doesn't cost an arm and a leg to make it, even with good ingredients. Thank you for sharing this recipe. This is the real thing.

I went to a BBQ tonight at a friend's house, and one of the things I brought were the supplies for this recipe. It was a huge hit! I asked around who wanted some beforehand, and it was just my best friend and I. Her DH declined as he declared he didn't drink coffee. After I made one for my friend and I and went to the table, he got this puppy-dog look on his face and asked where his was. I said, "But I thought you didn't drink coffee?" He hemmed and hawed...and I offered to go make him one. "Okay!", he says. LOL Then their son and some of his friends stopped by as I was coming out with the DH's. One of the gal's eyes got big and she said, "That looks absolutely awesome!". So I wound up making one for her and one for my friend's son. :D I wound up using more ice-cream and a little less coffee than the recipe actually called for. I put 2-3 medium scoops of french vanilla ice-cream in each glass, so it was about 2/3 full of ice-cream, and then drizzled the semi-lukewarm (I was in a hurry...didn't want to wait!) coffee over the top to about the 3/4+ point. I squirted the canned whipped cream into a mound, then sprinkled some grated chocolate over the top. I garnished it with a Dove brand "Milk Chocolate Moment" cookie, which was also a big hit, and a straw. I found that I personally preferred to carefully swirl it all together and get the ice-cream to melt/mix in with the coffee. It had a creamy, luscious texture. Again, everybody loved this! If you are waffling over whether or not you should go to the trouble to make this...don't! Whether you make it for yourself or a crowd...go for it! But don't be surprised if you impress the crowd! :D Thanks for a great recipe, HeatherFeather...this is going in my own permanent cookbook! :D Edited to add: The night after I went to the aforementioned BBQ, we went to my DH's boss's potluck birthday party (an annual event). I took the ingredients to make this later in the evening. You should have heard the gasps, oooooo's and ahhhhh's when I started making them and handing them out. I literally had people lining up to get one. :D Thanks for a ten star recipe, HeatherFeather!

Wonderful recipie, wonderful idea. I served this for dessert with a plate of more cookies ("Love Letters" from the Asian market.) A delightful ending to dinner al fresco with a beautiful pink and purple sunset.

Heavenly. Takes me back to Aschaffenburg and evenings spent with friends. Our German hostess would freeze sweetened coffee into cubes to use with this drink. I also like to slip some Kahlua in for special occasions.
