Black Forest Ice Cream Cup – Schwarzwald Becher

This is a special ice cream specialty which is called the Black Forest Ice Cream Cup or Schwarzwaldbecher. It’s one of these cups that you would get in a German ice cream parlor. As we don’t have such parlors in the USA you can make this ice cream cup at home. It’s that easy. Make sure to use a good quality chocolate sauce without high fructose corn syrup. Happy Ice Creaming!
