  • NICE!

    I would substitute the instant espresso powder for actually a good shot of espresso freshly pulled from the machine! It makes a difference!

  • INSTANT ESPRESSO IS GOOD FOR

    Instant espresso is good for using in things like this as it adds good flavor but no liquid really. Obviously this is a treat, not what you are going to go to for your morning brew, think Starbucks. I mean you order extra "pumps" in their Fraps not shots now...

  • ALMOST SOUNDS GOOD

    Wakeknot | Mon, 10/10/2011 - 12:45

    but the instant espresso makes it a little less appealing.

  • ERIC, I VOTE "DESSERT"

    jbviau | Thu, 07/28/2011 - 15:58

    Which is fine IMO! Sounds good, in fact, except for the "instant espresso" bit. Is there no way to use the real thing?

  • IS THIS A DRINK OR A DESSERT?

    EricBNC | Thu, 07/28/2011 - 10:13


    Is this a drink or a dish (not criticizing the recipe at all - just curious)? I see you pour it into a glass but also you say to let it chill till it thickens - so a coffee jello or pudding like dessert then?
