Coffee Glace
"I find more often than not that my guests at a dinner party favor a light dessert after an otherwise substantial meal. Their definition of light targets the overall bulk of a dessert, not its richness or flavor. I found this worthy candidate at worldwidemart.com, it would seem to be the perfect solution & I will be trying it soon. It could hardly be easier to fix & will be lovely when combined w/a cookie &/or piece of fruit to enhance the presentation. (Time does not include time to chill in the freezer to sherbet consistency)"

This is great! My Heavens it's fast to whip up, and no problem at all mix several times during freezing. I had a tiny serving and the 2 guys polished off the rest this evening. It had turned very warm today and this was an ideal dessert. The coffee is quite mild and the creams and egg yolks make it rich. I sprinkled a bit of cinnamon on mine and it was a lovely touch. Simple enough for everyday and in a pretty dish it would be loved by guests also.

I am an American transplanted from Dallas to Iceland by marriage to a native Icelander & I retired to become his "Kitchen Queen". We love to entertain our family & friends, so I have an eclectic collection of recipes. I especially love simple, easy-fix, flexible & make-ahead recipes - BUT also like challenging myself on occasion. I enjoy baking & food photography. I am devoted to the "More is Always Better Principle" & apply it liberally to bacon, butter & garlic. I can have ingredient issues due to availability here in Iceland & my DH is medically diet-restricted from some ingredients as well. Either situation might require me to modify a recipe, but I will do my best to be true to your recipes & fair/honest in my reviews. Mary Pat (aka twissis)
