Eisschokolade is a classic German, summertime drink. It’s basically a gussied-up chocolate milk for hot weather: chocolate milk and ice cream in a tall glass, served with a straw.
When we spent our summers in Germany, we would sometimes go to a nice Elbe-side restaurant and sit on the patio. While others would order beer, I would get this! Another version is Eiskaffee, served with cold coffee instead of chocolate milk. But this was my favourite! To add a little something special or to make it for adults, you can also add a shot of rum. Rum and chocolate is a classic combination that I first tasted in Germany too, in the form of rumballs!
Eisschokolade is best served in tall glasses, like classic diner milkshake glasses. I don’t have those, so I just used a milk glass and a fancy wine glass. As for the chocolate milk, that’s up to you. You can use hot chocolate (cooled), storebought chocolate milk, or if you’re really into it, you can make your own chocolate milk.
Eisschokolade - Chocolate Milk with Ice Cream

Instructions
- Place the scoop of ice cream in a tall glass.

- Serve with a straw on a summertime patio!
Love, love, love this!! What a brilliant idea. I love hot chocolate all winter long, and this is such a fun summer swap! Pinning. 🙂
