Cappuccino Sundaes Recipes

Steps:

• Line dessert bowls with brownie squares or pound cake. Set coffee ice cream out to soften a bit. Heat hot fudge sauce over low heat or in the microwave. Place dark-roast coffee beans in a heavy duty plastic food storage bag and crush them with a small heavy skillet or mallet. If you have a coffee grinder, grind the beans on coarsest setting. Add beans to sauce with 1/4 cup (2 ounces), strong coffee. Scoop coffee ice cream on cake or brownies. Top with coffee fudge sauce and salted nuts and serve. WOW!

Steps:

• Combine coffee, cream, sugar and cinnamon in heavy small saucepan. Bring to simmer, stirring until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat, add chocolate and stir until melted and smooth. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Rewarm over low heat, stirring constantly.)
• Scoop frozen yogurt into bowls. Top with sauce. Sprinkle with candy.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, beat whipping cream and marshmallow creme until soft peaks form. Refrigerate until serving., To serve, place each brownie in a dessert dish; top with fudge topping and ice cream. Pour espresso and, if desired, Kahlua over ice cream. Top with cream mixture and coffee beans; sprinkle with salt. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Make crisps:
• Preheat oven to 325°F with rack in middle. Line a rimmed sheet pan with a nonstick baking liner, or line it with foil and lightly oil foil.
• Whisk egg white with sugar, coffee powder, and a pinch of salt in a bowl until blended. Stir in walnuts until coated. Spread mixture into a 10- by 8-inch rectangle in pan.
• Bake until crisp is dry to the touch, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer pan to a rack to cool completely.
• Loosen crisp with a metal spatula and break into small pieces.
• Make sauce:
• Bring sugar and water to a boil in a 2-quart heavy saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Boil without stirring, but washing down any sugar crystals with a brush dipped in cold water, until syrup begins to turn golden, about 5 minutes. Continue to boil, swirling pan occasionally, until syrup is a deep golden caramel.
• Remove pan from heat and carefully add whiskey, cream, and salt (mixture will bubble up and steam and caramel will harden).
• Return pan to heat and simmer, stirring, until caramel is dissolved and sauce is smooth. Cool to warm.
• Serve sauce over scoops of coffee ice cream then sprinkle with walnut crisp.

Steps:

• Combine sugar with ¼ cup water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high, cook until amber and just beginning to smoke, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat, carefully whisk in heavy cream, butter, and 1 teaspoon kosher salt. Stir in whiskey. Use immediately for sundaes. (Sauce can also be cooled and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 month. Gently reheat before serving.)
• Layer scoops of ice cream and crumbled brownies in each sundae glass. Top with Whiskey Caramel Sauce and softly whipped cream. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Using the steam attachment on an espresso machine, warm and froth milk. Divide espresso between 2 coffee cups. Pour 1/2 cup of the warmed milk from beneath the froth into each cup. Spoon milk foam on top and serve.
