Chilean Iced Coffee

January 14, 2021 by Pilar Hernandez

Versión en español

Chilean Iced Coffee - Café HeladoWhen I lived in Santiago, Tavelli coffee store was a favorite stop for me. I loved having iced coffee during the summer; Chilean Iced Coffee “Café Helado” is the perfect treat to have before going to the movies or out with friends. Besides the iced coffee included whipped cream and ice cream is a full meal.

Iced coffee is so simple that you need to use the best ingredients to make it, brew an espresso, buy or make a good vanilla ice cream (not diet) and use sugar and heavy cream.

Description

A delicious treat, a Chilean version of a float.


Ingredients

  • 2 espressos (1/2 cup)
  • 2 cups whole milk, cold
  • 2 teaspoons of granulated sugar (for milk)
  • 1 cup of vanilla ice cream
  • 1 cup of liquid whipping cream
  • 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar (for the whipped cream)
  • sprinkles, maraschino, optional

Instructions

  1. The first thing is to make the espressos and mix them with cold milk and sugar. Try, if you like sweeter, add more sugar, refrigerate, but consider that ice cream is always sweet.
  2. Take the ice cream out of the freezer to make it easy to serve.
  3. Beat the cream by hand or with a mixer. When it starts to make waves, about 2 minutes, add the tablespoon of granulated sugar and continue beating until the cream is Chantilly and has soft peaks. Remember that the cream whipped better if everything: the bowl, the mixer paddles, and the cream itself are very cold.
  4. In long glasses or glasses, serve 1/4 cup of vanilla ice cream, add the cold coffee milk to almost the edge of the glass, leave 1 cm. free and add the whipped cream.
  5. Serve immediately. Decorate with sprinkles and a maraschino if desired.

Notes

To calculate nutritional information, I used whole milk. And I did not include the sprinkles or maraschinos.
