Glace is chilled coffee with ice cream. The name of the drink comes from the French word glacé (stress on the second syllable), which means “frozen”, ice. Glace differs from all other types of coffee in that it must contain ice cream. The closest relative of the drink is the Italian dessert affogato, but it is prepared in a slightly different way.

Glace history

It is believed that the glace recipe was born in Austria: at the end of the 19th or beginning of the 20th century. It so happened that one of the capital's coffee houses ran out of cream, and the visitor was served Viennese coffee with ice cream. The guest liked the drink so much that since then he has ordered only such coffee. Be that as it may, but in the 20th century, when technology made it possible to reduce the cost of making ice cream, glace became very popular all over the world.

There were some difficulties with writing this word in Russian. Linguists have been arguing for a long time about how to properly name the drink: glace or glace. For some time, spelling dictionaries allowed both spellings, but in recent editions, the “glace” option is recognized as correct.

Glace Ingredients

The basis of the glace is black coffee, no matter how it is prepared: in a coffee maker, cezve, french press, aeropress or using a pour over. You can even use instant coffee.

The classic glace recipe involves a ratio of 1: 3 (for 1 part of ice cream - 3 parts of coffee). But it is not necessary to strictly observe this ratio; a ratio of 1:2.5 or even 1:2 is allowed. A serving of glace is usually 150–200 g. It is clear that 100–150 ml of espresso is too much and unhealthy. Therefore, if espresso is chosen as the basis for the glaze, it is better to brew 60 ml of coffee and dilute it with water to the desired volume (the result will be an American).

Choice of coffee for glace

Ice cream gives the drink a creamy softness, sets off the bitterness, but neutralizes the subtle nuances of taste and smell of Arabica monosorts or expensive blends. Gleece is a great way to use ground coffee that has been in the cupboard for over 2 weeks and has lost a bit of flavor.

Inexpensive blends of Arabica with 10% Robusta are suitable for glace. For those who do not like excessive bitterness, it is recommended to cook the base for the glaze from 100% Arabica. In a drink with instant coffee, bitterness is not felt, but the taste of such a look is not for everyone.

water for glaze

Although the taste of ice cream dominates in the glaze, coffee should not be brewed with tap water: the chlorine contained in it significantly impairs the taste of the drink. When buying bottled water, you need to make sure that the mineralization is in the range of 70-200 mg / l (optimally - 150 mg / l).

Glaze ice cream

Glaze is best with creamy ice cream. The original taste has a glaze with chocolate ice cream or creme brulee. Of course, you can make a drink with less calorie milk ice cream, but it will not be as pleasant.

Often used ice cream or creme brulee

Diet coffee is still impossible to make. So even for those who follow the figure, it does not make sense to count calories in ice cream, it is better to drink a portion of the drink with ice cream, and then refuse dinner or devote an hour more to training.

Glace cooking rules

In the classic recipe, ice cream is supposed to be mixed with coffee chilled to a temperature of +10 °C. However, this is dangerous to health: in the heat it is easy to become hoarse or even get a sore throat. It is much safer to cool the coffee base to +20 °C.

If you want to treat yourself to a dessert in inclement cool weather, then a temperature of +30 ° C is also allowed. Hotter coffee melts ice cream faster, but some like it that way. It should be remembered that too much temperature difference is harmful to tooth enamel.

In order for black coffee to have time to cool, it is recommended to brew it in advance, at least 20-40 minutes before preparing the glace. Hot liquid cannot be put in the refrigerator, so the vessel with filtered coffee is first placed in a large container of cold water. Under such conditions, coffee quickly cools to room temperature. To speed up cooling, the water in the tank is changed every 5-10 minutes.

There are two options for preparing glace:

1. Coffee is poured into a glass, a scoop of ice cream is placed on top.
2. Ice cream is lowered to the bottom and coffee is poured into it.

In the first case, the drink looks very impressive: on top of the dark brown layer is a snow-white melting ice cream, the streams of which are already beginning to seep into the coffee. In the second version, a ball of ice cream pops up, coloring the liquid in a beige color. As a result, coffee is no longer so beautiful.

It is customary to mix the glaze immediately before serving so that the ice cream does not start to melt.

Classic homemade glaze recipe

Ingredients:

• black coffee - 120-150 ml;
• ice cream - 50 grams;

2. Filter and cool coffee to a temperature of +10 to +30 °C.

Look at the second method of preparation: ice cream in a glass is poured over coffee

Instead of sugar in coffee, you can pour 10–20 ml of syrup or liquor. In South America, it is customary to serve glace with rum (15–20 ml per serving). In Europe, cognac is added to the glaze.

Now I want to tell you the recipes for making coffee glasse. After drinking a cup of glass, in addition to the delicious taste, you will feel cheerfulness and freshness. It's like you've just stood under a cool waterfall. So let's get started.

Iced coffee is not just coffee, it is a whole symphony. Mostly ice cream is added to coffee. But you can add liquor and egg yolk there, in general, everyone is sophisticated as they can. If we talk about coffee with ice cream, then you can add any ice cream, ice cream, chocolate, vanilla, fruit. In general, experiment. But just remember, if you decide to make glasse coffee at home, and you only have ice cream in a waffle cup, ALWAYS use a spoon or fork to pick off a little ice cream and add it to your coffee. You should not throw ice cream into coffee along with a waffle cup.

To make coffee glasse we need:

1. one cup of boiled coffee, you can take plain instant coffee, but the taste will not be the same.
2. one cup of ice cream, you can take ice cream in the form of a circle.
3. two tablespoons of chocolate syrup, you can take a little cocoa.
4. two tablespoons of whipped cream.
5. one teaspoon of different, multi-colored candies.

For the preparation of glasse coffee, we will take chilled coffee. Usually, many take chilled coffee, but there are those whom I do not quite understand. They drink hot coffee in hot weather. Next, put the ice cream in a glass, pour the whole thing over with chocolate syrup. Then pour in chilled coffee. Later, with a gentle movement of the hand, squeeze the whipped cream onto the resulting drink. Cream can be sprinkled with candy. The drink is ready, enjoy.

Now I will tell you another recipe for coffee glasse, but with the addition of sugar. What do we need for this:

1. 100-150 grams of water
2. 6-7 grams of coffee
3. 20 grams of sugar
4. 50 grams of ice cream.

It will be necessary to cook a simple one, then cool it, preferably to room temperature. And then, according to the old scheme, pour coffee into a glass of ice cream. Can be served with a straw.

1. 100-150 grams of prepared coffee
2. 2-3 ice cubes
3. 10-15 grams of liquor.

Pour prepared coffee into a glass, throw a couple of ice cubes into it, and fill this whole creation with liquor. Most importantly, the volume of alcohol should be 15% of the total volume of coffee. If you, a person with a strong character, love to drink alcohol, then you can forget about the volume. Look at your condition there.

Another recipe for coffee glasse with egg yolk. What we need for this:

1. brewed coffee, not chilled
2. 2-3 tablespoons of sugar
3. 50 grams of ice cream
4. 2 tablespoons chocolate syrup

We need to grind the yolks with sugar and add to the prepared coffee. Then all this must be put on a slow fire and cook, stirring for 10-15 minutes. Then we pour all this into a glass (only half a glass), put a ball of ice cream on top and pour all this with chocolate syrup. The coffee glass is ready to drink.

Coffee glass with chocolate

Glace is an espresso-based drink whose name comes from the French glac? - icy. Coffee lovers will especially like it in the summer heat, when they really want to drink a cup of something invigorating and at the same time cold.

It is not known for certain who and where first prepared the glaze, but the French got to know him in Austria. In coffee houses, glasse is served in tall stemmed glasses, often with a cocktail cherry on top, but you can also make it at home.

Remember that the taste of the drink depends on each ingredient: what kind of coffee and grinding did you choose, ice cream or vanilla ice cream, did you decide to add sugar? Even the time that the finished glasse has stood waiting for the sample will affect its taste.

To prepare a drink you will need:

1. a cup of chilled espresso;
2. ice cream - it is not necessary to take a classic ice cream, use what you like;
3. sugar to taste;
4. a little grated chocolate, cinnamon or cocoa - sprinkle glace on top.

The ratio of coffee and ice cream should be 3:1, that is, three parts of coffee take one part of ice cream.

Cooking steps:

• In any available way to brew coffee - in a coffee maker, in a Turk or in a French press. You can also use instant coffee, but the taste will be completely different.
• Cool the prepared espresso to 10-15°C.
• Place slightly melted ice cream in a tall glass and carefully pour over coffee.
• Sprinkle chocolate on top.

A delicious and invigorating drink is ready!

Coffee glasse with cinnamon, liqueur and cloves

Chilled, down to ice, glace coffee (French Glac? - frozen) is recognized by coffee lovers as a classic of the genre. The motivation is simple: in the heat you do not want hot! Fair enough for hot climates. But a rather strange statement for Russia, in most of which it is cool or completely cold for almost nine months out of twelve. Below is a recipe for adherents of hot coffee, a kind of glaze in Russian.

Here are the ingredients for one serving:

1. natural ground coffee (2 teaspoons with a good slide);
2. sugar (1.5 teaspoons);
3. chocolate-based liquor or syrup, cocoa (2 teaspoons);
4. ice cream "Plombir" (4 balls molded with a teaspoon);
5. correct water: bottled, mineral water without gas, filtered (? 180 ml);
6. a pinch of ground cinnamon;
7. dried cloves (2 pcs.);

Cooking steps

As the long experience of the coffee lover has shown, the most chic and interesting taste comes from mixing different varieties of coffee. I take coffee beans, at least two varieties. For the base - most often ARABIC, for additions (about 1/3 of the total volume) - any other variety. In this recipe, I use City Roast Coffee, brought as a gift from the Dominican Republic, as an addition. I turn the coffee grinder on the finest grind.

My Turk is designed to cook one serving. I put coffee and cloves in it, fill it with water, put it on fire until the foam rises. Coffee is infused for five minutes, acquiring a light aroma of cloves. Then I pour it through a strainer into a glass, mix with chocolate liqueur and sugar. I add four balls of ice cream, sprinkle with cinnamon. The drink is ready.

Preparing coffee glace with pepper and cream

To prepare coffee-glasse, take:

1. a cup of freshly brewed or instant coffee;
2. 50-100 gr of ice cream;
3. grated chocolate, cocoa or chocolate topping;
4. whipped cream to taste;
5. a little ground black pepper.

There are two quite different options for preparing this drink: with chilled coffee or hot. The difference is fundamental, and it is reflected in the taste of coffee-glasse. But here, as they say, "an amateur", who is used to drinking it. I like the "medium" option, that is, when the coffee is not hot, but not completely cooled down, 30-35C degrees.

So, we prepare coffee, pour it into a cup and leave to cool slightly. At this time, put ice cream in another glass (preferably transparent - so more beautiful). By the way, it is not necessary to put only ice cream or creme brulee. You can experiment and put, for example, strawberry or pistachio ice cream. So you can get a richer and new taste of the drink.

Sprinkle chocolate or cocoa on top of ice cream, put a very small pinch of black pepper. Pepper will give a special piquancy and spice to the drink, cocoa will make it pleasantly bitter. Sweet lovers can pour chocolate topping on ice cream.

Next, you need to carefully pour coffee into a glass. Add whipped cream and nuts if desired. Such a drink should be served and consumed immediately after its preparation. Coffee-glass invigorates and energizes for the whole day!

Video glasse coffee recipe from the Internet

Glace coffee, or glace, as it is also called, is a combination of chilled strong black coffee and soft ice cream. The drink is popular all over the world, including in Russia. The best delicacy on a hot day, as well as a favorite coffee dessert for those with a sweet tooth, glasse coffee has several dozen recipes. From this article you will learn more about glasse coffee - what it is and what it is eaten with - more precisely, of course, they drink it. And also about whether it is possible to make real coffee glasse at home.

What is coffee glaze?

Glace coffee is a delicate and invigorating delicacy that is usually served cold. When preparing in coffee glass, soft ice cream is always put, the delicate sweet cap of which becomes a real “highlight” of this coffee cocktail. The basis of coffee is most often a portion of strong chilled espresso.

Over the decades of its existence, a soft cold drink has become popular and loved by coffee lovers from all over the world, and lovers of experiments have not bypassed it. It is thanks to the efforts of the latter that the original classic recipe has acquired all sorts of additions and changes. Some of them are real exotic, while others seem incredibly appetizing. Be sure to try the recipe with egg yolk, with spices, the recipe with liqueur, with whipped cream, the chocolate version of the glace ... And also come up with your own author's version!

Glace is a very capricious drink, it is important to keep this in mind when ordering it in coffee shops and preparing it at home. At the same time, it is quite difficult to spoil it, although it sounds, of course, paradoxical. The fact is that the “capriciousness” of a cocktail lies in its sensitivity to a large number of factors. It is difficult to cook it the same way twice, and from coffee shop to coffee shop, its taste and texture will most likely change. However, it is always tasty and always cooling drink - these features remain unchanged.

The taste of coffee is influenced, first of all, by such factors as:

• Quality and freshness of grains, features of their grinding and roasting.
• That, you prepare a drink with sugar, or without it.
• The quality and properties of the ice cream you use.
• How long the finished coffee waits for tasting.

On a note! The taste can even change with the seasons, although this will be more a consequence of personal experience. In summer, during the heat, it feels colder than in winter, even if you order it in a coffee shop with the same air temperature.

What is the correct name for the drink?

Many coffee lovers are at a loss with how to properly call this drink: “glase” or “glase”? Many difficulties arise with how this word is spelled correctly, as well as where to put the stress when pronouncing “glase”. Such problems are not surprising, because foreign words translated into our language often do not obey our usual norms of both pronunciation and spelling.

Translated from French, “glace” means “icy”, “frozen”, which eloquently reflects the properties of this coffee cocktail. In the original, “glase” has only one “s”. But for the convenience of pronunciation, the consonant is often doubled, so pronouncing and writing the name as “glace” will also be correct.

As for the correct stress, it should fall on the last syllable, which is typical for words that came into the Russian language from French.

Origin story

If we talk about the history of the origin of this cold cocktail, then it is not clear for sure. Many believe that France is the birthplace of the drink, since it was in French coffee houses in the middle of the twentieth century that the classic glass as we know it today was brewed. According to another version, the cold and strong glasse was first invented in the mountains of Austria, and only then came to France, and also spread first to other European countries, and then to the whole world.

There is another legend according to which the drink appeared in Austria. They say that one Austrian was in a hurry to get to work, but on the way he popped into a coffee shop and ordered letta. The barista immediately began to prepare the order, but found that the main ingredient - milk - had run out. There was no time to go for a new one, so he suggested that the client replace the milk with ice cream, and also serve the drink cold. Since the day was hot, the Austrian gladly agreed. He liked the coffee so much that he ordered it throughout the summer, making the drink a “calling card” of the coffee shop.

However, despite the abundance of legends and rumors, we cannot reliably find out who and where first prepared cold coffee with ice cream.

On a note! The drink has gained such popularity that in honor of this drink they even named the shade of Syoss Gloss Sensation hair dye “Cold Tone Glace”.

Differences between glasse and other coffee drinks

As for the main differences between this drink and similar coffee cocktails, the glass is not only different in composition, but also in serving. For example, the main differences between cappuccino latte and glace are the temperature characteristic of drinks - glace is always served chilled. In addition, ice cream balls are added to the drink, and not whipped cream.

How to drink glasse?

Since coffee glaze with the addition of ice cream is considered a dessert drink, tall stemmed glass goblets are used to serve it. It is allowed to serve in Irish glasses, as well as tall thin glasses for latte. But we don’t recommend drinking cold coffee with glaze from ceramic dishes or glasses for cappuccino - of course, they won’t spoil the taste, but they won’t reveal the appearance of the drink.

Important! Since the drink is not stirred, most of the ice cream stays on top, sinking to the bottom as it melts and blends with the espresso. The layered structure looks very attractive, often the drink is additionally decorated with ground cinnamon on top. It is permissible to put a cherry or any other berry on top.

In accordance with the technological maps, a glass with a glass is placed on a saucer, and a dessert spoon is placed next to it. A straw is inserted into the drink. Thus, the client of the coffee shop decides for himself whether to enjoy the taste of coffee, or first taste a cap of ice cream from the surface of the glass. In addition, a portion bag of sugar is often placed on the saucer so that the client can add it to their liking. It goes well with a drink and vanilla sugar.

On a note! Special attention deserves the serving of glass with the addition of alcohol. For such a drink, glasses are used for short drinks, as well as a short straw.

They usually drink glasse between meals - because of the ice cream, the cocktail is quite high in calories. The recommended time of consumption is the second half of the day, as the caffeine content in the drink is moderate.

Important! Glasse is usually not served with sweets, since ice cream itself can replace any dessert additions.

Calorie drink

All those who care about the figure should be careful - glasse coffee has a rather high calorie content, because it includes a serving of ice cream. So if you are afraid to get better, opt for other coffee drinks - with or without milk.

However, if you cannot resist the taste and aroma of glace, keep in mind that the calorie content of a cup of coffee glace prepared according to the classic recipe will be 110 kcal. Adding toppings, as well as nut or chocolate sprinkles will make the drink even more nutritious - such a serving will already contain 150-170 kcal.

It is worth considering how many calories are in these cocktails, prepared according to the standards of popular coffee chains:

• As for coffee glasse from McDonald's, its calorie content will be 125 kcal.
• Glace in the coffee shops of the Shokoladnitsa network - 186 kcal.

On a note! But you won’t be able to taste the glass at Starbucks, beloved by many - this position is not on the menu of these network coffee houses. But it has many worthy analogues.

How much does a glasse coffee cost?
