This is a lovely combination; So simple yet i'd never have thought of putting the two together. I added a little brandy too.........buonissimo!

This didn't work for me. I love coffee, but not cold coffee!

The coffee shouldn't be cold. It should be hot when you pour it over the ice cream, and served immediately, so you get the contract between the hot coffee and the cold ice cream.

This is a wonderful way to serve ice cream and makes an excellent diabetes friendly dessert if you use quality ice cream. Although not exactly a recipe a great idea!

This is one of my favorite desserts; I've introduced many people to the wonderful simplicity of the combo of good coffee and good ice cream. I've tried this dessert with flavored ice creams but feel the best combination is this one.
