Cooking With Gourmet Coffee

Mix heavy cream with chilled coffee and coffee liqueur. Pour the mixture into glasses, add ice cream, fill with cola and top with whipped cream.

Ingredients:

• 1 1/4 cups heavy cream, divided use
• 2 1/2 cups brewed mocha java coffee, chilled
• 1/4 cup coffee liqueur (optional)
• 4 large scoops coffee ice cream
• 1 12-ounce can carbonated cola, chilled
• Chocolate-covered espresso beans, for garnish (optional)

In a medium-size pitcher, combine 3/4 cup of the heavy cream, all of the coffee, and the liqueur (if using). Stir to combine. Whip remaining cream to stiff peaks. Fill 4 tall glasses halfway with coffee mixture. To each glass add a scoop of ice cream. Add cola to each glass. When fizz goes down, top each glass with a dollop of whipped cream. If desired, garnish with chocolate-covered espresso beans. Serve immediately.

Notes: A fast, easy and refreshing summer drink for coffee lovers. Omit the liqueur for the children or any who don’t drink alcohol.

Number of servings: 4
