Dessert Disaster

The dessert I served Saturday night turned into a right mess. Conceptually, the recipe sounded lovely:

A scoop of coffee ice cream
A shot of Frangelico
A shot of strong coffee

Combine all these ingredients in a small bowl

Simple enough. So I did just that. The result was goop. The coffee melted the ice cream and the guests began drinking from their bowls. The taste was sort of good -sort of not good. I decided that the original recipe is just all wrong. 

This is my suggestion to improve on the recipe:

First, treat the recipe as the drink it really is. Also, rather than an after dinner affair, this recipe deserves a warm afternoon in the garden backdrop.

• Place Coffee ice cream and coffee in a blender-whip to a frothy thinnish shake
• Pour over ice
• Serve a shot of Frangelico on the side

Bottoms up!

I think cooling the coffee is a great idea.
