Recipe for Coffee, Chocolate & Peppermint Swirl
Recipe for Coffee & Banana Sundae
If you’re looking for simple yet sophisticated dessert ideas for an al fresco lunch or dinner this summer, you need look no further than these two tempting recipes combining coffee and ice cream. For an unforgettable conclusion to your meal, serve our coffee, chocolate & peppermint swirls or coffee & banana sundaes while you soak up some rays or watch the sunset. Each satisfying treat offers a fresh twist on the classic Italian affogato recipe.
An iced coffee dessert is a particularly enjoyable way to drink slow coffee during hot weather. Using crushed ice rather than ice cubes makes your coffee creations look even more chic, while the award-winning Bodum® double wall glasses keep beverages and desserts at their perfect temperature for longer than ordinary drinkware. Our innovative design also prevents slippery condensation from appearing on the glasses’ exterior.
When following the first recipe, you can use either peppermint syrup or liqueur, depending on whether you’d like a non-alcoholic or alcoholic dessert. As peppermint is aromatic and reinvigorating, it’ll complement your freshly brewed coffee beautifully. Why not try making your own peppermint syrup too, using freshly picked leaves? It’s wonderfully simple.
The second recipe is no less delicious and just as straightforward. This time it’s cinnamon, the glorious, golden spice, providing an irresistible aroma in addition to the coffee. Blending your cup of joe with ice cream and banana creates an incredibly smooth, creamy dessert.
When making these recipes, we favour vanilla ice cream, as it allows the coffee and other key flavours to shine. But feel free to use your favourite flavour for a tailor-made treat!
You can also use cold brew instead of freshly brewed coffee for completely chilled desserts.
