Coffee Tortoni
If you love Coffee then you will love this dessert…
Coffee Tortoni is a decadent creamy coffee inspired dessert, a lot like ice cream really… Give it an extra twist by adding a coffee rich liqeuer such as Kahlua or baileys, add chocolate sauce or praline for a decorative finish… Eat it like ice-cream, or eat it like mousse, present it anyway you want… I’ve given you a few examples here to get started.
For the chocolate garnish I just used an instant chocolate sauce for ice cream(that hardens), and squirted a few designs onto baking paper, then popped it in the freezer and used these to decorate the dessert.
This one is a showstopper recipe, and one of my all time favourite dessert recipes to create whenever we have visitors for dinner – and of course everyone loves it, and most ask for the recipe… enough said. And yes this recipe has won numerous awards as well.
Are you one of those people who ask for ‘the’ recipe? I am definitely one of those renowned people who ask for the recipe every time I eat something I love…. you are sure to get a few friends wanting this recipe I can assure you
