Coffee punch with floating ice cream

Iced coffee punch with floating ice cream is a delicious and comforting drink that combines the intensity of coffee with the smoothness of ice cream. Its origin dates back to the coffee traditions of Mexico, where coffee is more than just a drink: it is an essential part of the culture and daily life. Although in Mexico it is commonly known as "ponche de café," similar variants are found in several Latin American countries under different names, such as "café flotante" in Argentina and "café con helado" in Chile. This traditional recipe is appreciated for its unique combination that blends the sweet freshness of ice cream with the aroma and flavor of coffee, creating an unforgettable experience for lovers of this beverage.

Iced coffee punch with floating ice cream has become popular at family gatherings and celebrations for its simplicity and taste. Furthermore, it is an excellent way to enjoy coffee differently, especially during warm seasons or as a dessert after a meal. This recipe represents the perfect fusion between natural ingredients and a homemade touch, highlighting the richness of coffee and the creativity of Latin American cuisine.
