From *The World Encyclopedia of Coffee* - The phrase *Dessert in a Glass* is oft-used, but this recipe sets a new std for it. Even the intro seems to apologize for it when it says This drink is unabashedly decadent & not for those counting calories. *Enjoy* ! Ingredients:
1 cup cold coffee (strong dark roast) |
6 tablespoons cognac or 6 tablespoons brandy |
1/4 cup coffee liqueur |
1/4 cup double cream (heavy cream) |
2 teaspoons sugar (see note below) |
1 cup crushed ice |
2 scoops coffee ice cream |
chocolate shavings (garnish) (optional) |
Directions:
1. Put 1st 6 ingredients into a shaker & shake well.
2. Pour equally into 2 tall glasses & gently add a scoop of coffee ice cream to each. Sprinkle w/choc shavings (if using) & serve w/a long-handled spoon.
3. NOTE FROM ME: I entered this recipe as written, but feel the need to ask a question. Is it just me or is it more than just a little silly to use 2 tsp of sugar in this recipe?.
4. COOKS NOTE ON RECIPE: The coffee liqueur can be either cream-based (Kahlua) or non-cream based (Tia Maria). .
