Café liégeois

Café Liégeois is a French dessert made with iced coffee, coffee ice cream, and whipped cream. It was originally called café Viennoise, but during World War I, when the Germans attacked Liége, Parisian restaurants changed the name to café Liégeois in order to eschew any German-sounding words.


The name has stuck up to this day, and being a popular cold dessert throughout France, it also has other varieties such as the chocolate-based version, or the version with added liquor for extra punch.
