Godiva Iced Coffee Recipe

One of my favorite things to do every year is attend the Epcot Food and Wine Festival at Walt Disney World. A few years ago I was super excited when I stopped at the Belgium kiosk and noticed they were not just offering iced coffee, but iced coffee mixed with Godiva chocolate liquor. Iced coffee plus chocolate liquor, ok twist my arm I guess I’ll give it a try. Needless to say it was amazing! I’m pretty sure I had three of them that day. This quickly became my favorite thing at the festival. Every year the Belgium kiosk would be my first stop and usually my last stop and a few stops throughout the day! As usual last year I made my way over to the Belgium kiosk ready for my iced coffee and was heartbroken to see that it was not on the menu that year! The food and wine festival was just as amazing as always, but I did miss that Godiva iced coffee.

When I got home, I started to think how hard could it be to make the Godiva Iced Coffee myself. So I did a little googling and I just so happened to find the actual recipe that they use for the iced coffee at the Epcot Food and Wine Festival! After a quick trip to the grocery store (and the liquor store), I was ready to try my hand at making quite possibly my favorite drink ever, and it was just as good as I remembered it! And now I want to share the recipe with you! Give it a try and let me know what you think! I hope you all love it as much as I do!

The ingredients needed for the iced coffee are:

2 ounces Godiva chocolate liquor

1 ounce half and half

1/2 ounce simple syrup (Simple syrup is just equal parts water and sugar boiled together until the sugar is completely dissolved. Once the sugar has completely dissolved just take the syrup off the stove and allow the syrup to cool. Or you can cheat like I did and just buy a liquid sugar like the liquid raw sugar that I used. However, the next time I make this I’m going to use a full ounce of the liquid raw sugar because I like my coffee a little sweeter.)

4 ounces hot coffee (I used a French press to make my hot coffee, but feel free to brew your coffee any way you would like.)

Chocolate sauce for drizzling

Whipped cream for garnish

Once you have your ingredients ready this how you make the drink:

Put the Godiva liquor, the half and half, the simple syrup, and the hot coffee into a shaker already filled with ice. Put the lid on the shaker and shake for 30 seconds. The just pour in a glass and garnish with whipped cream and chocolate sauce. Then just sit back and enjoy!

• For the colder nights, or for those of you that do not like iced coffee, you could also make this as a hot drink. Instead of putting the ingredients into a shaker, stir the first four ingredients together in a mug and then top with the whipped cream and chocolate sauce. I have not tried it this way yet, but if anyone does decide to try it hot let me know how it turns out!

• You can use either the Godiva chocolate or white chocolate liqueur, just depends what your preference is.
