This is a traditional French cold dessert. Cafe Liegeois is an extremely easy recipe that enables great deals of variations to be produced. Classically it is made from iced and sweetened espresso, coffee ice cream & sweetened whipped cream.
Contrary to its name, the cafe liegeois dessert did not come from or around Liege, Belgium. In reality, it was initially known in France as a cafe viennois (French for "Viennese coffee"). Cafe Liegeois initially was called Cafe Viennois however throughout World War I when the Germans assaulted Liege, Parisian dining establishments altered the name to Cafe Liegeois.
Parisian cafes began relabeling the dessert from viennois to liegeois. Strangely enough, in Liege itself, the dessert remained to be called cafe viennois for a while.
Cafe Liegeois has no single initial variation. All types of it include coffee, ice cream and whipped cream. However occasionally the ice cream will certainly be vanilla, in some cases chocolate, other times coffee-flavored. A Cafe Liegeois makes no stringent needs on how it is put together.
