Coffee with brandy and ice cream When I want a coffee that is more flavorful than the usual one, I prepare it directly in a cezve, with sugar and a little brandy. After the coffee sits covered for a few minutes, the taste settles, and the ice cream added to the cups gradually melts and sweetens it. From the quantities below, you get about eight small cups, each with 10 g of ice cream. If you don't have ice cream, you can use whipped cream. Quick info Total time: about 10 minutes, depending on how long it takes for the water to boil Preparation time: about 3-5 minutes for the coffee to rest, plus the time to heat the water Cooking time: a few moments, until the foam starts to rise Servings: about 8 cups Difficulty: easy Recipe type: flavored coffee, suitable for immediate serving Ingredients 50 g coffee 50 g sugar 25 ml brandy 80 g ice cream, 10 g for each cup 500 ml water For this recipe, ground coffee is used. The amount of ice cream is calculated for about eight servings, if you put 10 g in each cup. The type of ice cream is not specified; you can use whatever ice cream you have on hand. Preparation method 1. Put the water and sugar in a cezve. Place the cezve on the heat and let the mixture warm until the water starts to boil. 2. When the water boils, add the ground coffee. Stir with a spoon, then let the coffee stay on the heat for a very short time. 3. Watch the foam. When it starts to rise slightly, take the cezve off the heat. There is no need to let the coffee boil for long after this point. 4. Cover the cezve with a saucer and let the coffee rest for 3-5 minutes. This resting time is part of the preparation and allows the grounds to settle. 5. Remove the saucer and pour the brandy into the coffee. Stir gently to distribute it throughout the mixture. 6. Pour the coffee into cups. Add about 10 g of ice cream to each cup. The coffee is served immediately while it is still hot, and the ice cream starts to melt. If you prefer, you can replace the ice cream with whipped cream. Why I make the recipe often It is a simple recipe with few ingredients and no complicated preparations. The coffee is made in a single cezve, and after it is poured into cups, you just need to add the ice cream or whipped cream. The brandy changes the flavor of the coffee without needing other flavors, and the ice cream gives it a softer texture as it melts. The quantities are easy to follow: 500 ml of water, 50 g of coffee, 50 g of sugar, and 25 ml of brandy. The 80 g of ice cream are divided into eight servings of 10 g each. For a smaller preparation, the quantities can be reduced, but the same principle of work must be maintained. Tips Do not let the coffee boil for long after adding the ground coffee. In the original recipe, the cezve is taken off the heat when the foam starts to rise slightly. Cover the cezve during the 3-5 minutes of resting. A saucer that fits the size of the cezve is sufficient. Add the brandy after the resting period, not before. This way, the coffee is poured into cups only after the brandy has been mixed throughout the entire quantity. Distribute the ice cream as evenly as possible. With 80 g for eight cups, approximately 10 g returns for each serving. Pour the coffee carefully, as the grounds should remain in the cezve as much as possible. There is no need for an additional straining step in the basic recipe. Substitutions Ice cream can be replaced with whipped cream, as mentioned in the original recipe. The exact amount of whipped cream is not specified, so it is added according to preference in each cup. If you do not want to use brandy, it cannot be replaced with another ingredient without changing the flavor of the recipe. For a non-alcoholic coffee, you can omit it, but the result will no longer be the same coffee with brandy. Variations The simplest variation is the choice of ice cream. The amount remains the same, approximately 10 g for each cup, but the flavor can differ depending on the ice cream used. You can prepare the coffee with ice cream or with whipped cream, without combining them. The recipe offers these two serving options, and the choice depends on what you have available. If you serve the coffee in fewer cups, divide the 80 g of ice cream only among the prepared servings. For eight servings, the approximate measure is 10 g in each cup. Serving ideas Pour the coffee into cups immediately after mixing in the brandy. The ice cream is added directly to the cup, not in the cezve, so that the servings can be easily divided. The coffee can be served with the ice cream allowed to melt gradually. This way, the first sips are of hot coffee, and then the drink becomes creamier. If using whipped cream, add it at the time of serving. Frequently asked questions How many servings does this recipe yield? From 500 ml of water and 80 g of ice cream, you get about eight small cups if you put 10 g of ice cream in each. The exact number depends on the size of the cups and how full you pour them. How long should the coffee sit covered? The coffee should sit covered for 3-5 minutes. This is the time indicated in the basic recipe. There is no need to keep it longer, especially if you want to serve it hot. When is the brandy added? The brandy is added after the coffee has rested covered. Remove the saucer, pour the 25 ml of brandy into the cezve, and stir before distributing the coffee into cups. Can I use whipped cream instead of ice cream? Yes. Whipped cream is the mentioned alternative for replacing ice cream. It is added to each cup after you pour the coffee. The recipe does not specify an exact amount of whipped cream. Can the coffee be saved for later? It is better to serve it immediately. The ice cream melts in the hot coffee, and the whipped cream can change its texture if the drink sits for a long time. Additionally, the flavor of the brandy is more pleasant when the coffee is freshly made. Nutritional values The values below are estimates and depend mainly on the type of ice cream used. The calculation is made for the entire recipe divided into eight servings and assumes a regular milk-based ice cream. For one serving, with 10 g of ice cream: Calories: approximately 50-60 kcal Carbohydrates: approximately 7-8 g Proteins: approximately 0.5-1 g Fats: approximately 2-3 g Added sugar contributes the most to the carbohydrates: the 50 g in the recipe means about 6.25 g for each of the eight servings. The brandy brings calories from alcohol, and the ice cream can significantly change the total, depending on the sugar and fat content. The prepared coffee has very few calories if the grounds are not consumed. If you use whipped cream instead of ice cream, the nutritional values change depending on the amount and type of whipped cream. For this reason, the above estimate refers only to the version with ice cream. Storage and reheating Coffee with brandy and ice cream is more suitable for immediate serving than for storage. Do not put ice cream or whipped cream in a quantity of coffee that is to be stored. If plain coffee remains in the cezve, without ice cream or whipped cream, it can be stored for a short time, but the taste will not be the same after cooling. Reheating is not recommended within the recipe, as the drink already contains brandy, and additional heating can alter its flavor. It is best to prepare only the quantity that is to be served.
