Coffee Egg Cream
A refreshing and creamy coffee egg cream with chocolate and fizzy soda, perfect for a cool treat or dessert that combines rich flavors with bubbly texture.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Put 1 tablespoon chocolate syrup, coffee, and 1/4 cup of milk in each glass.
- Stir to combine the ingredients.
- Slowly fill each glass to the top with club soda.
- Serve with straws.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, use strong brewed coffee or espresso. If you prefer a sweeter drink, adjust the amount of chocolate syrup to taste. You can substitute the club soda with sparkling water for a similar fizz. For a dairy-free option, try using almond or oat milk. This drink is reminiscent of American recipes that combine creamy and fizzy elements.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Coffee Egg Cream chilled, garnished with a sprinkle of cocoa powder or a drizzle of extra chocolate syrup on top. It pairs beautifully with a slice of Mrs. Clara Holste'S White Cake for a delightful dessert experience. Offer straws for an authentic touch and enjoy it as a refreshing afternoon treat.
Storage & Reheating
This drink is best served fresh, but if you have leftovers, store them in the refrigerator without adding the club soda to maintain fizz. When ready to serve, mix in fresh club soda. Consume within 24 hours for optimal taste and texture; the milk can spoil quickly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use decaffeinated coffee for this recipe?
Absolutely! Decaffeinated coffee works perfectly and allows you to enjoy this drink without the caffeine kick. Just ensure that the decaf coffee is brewed strong to maintain the flavor balance with the chocolate syrup and milk.
Is there a non-dairy alternative for the milk?
Yes, you can easily substitute regular milk with almond, soy, or oat milk for a non-dairy version. Each alternative will bring a unique flavor, so choose one that you enjoy most. This makes the drink suitable for those following vegetarian recipes.
Can I make this drink ahead of time?
While it's best enjoyed fresh, you can prepare the coffee and mix in the chocolate syrup and milk ahead of time. Just keep it refrigerated and add the club soda right before serving to keep the drink fizzy and refreshing.
