TEA OF DREAMS

The backbone of many liqueur desserts is ice cream and your imagination can go wild with the possibilities. There are so many different flavors of ice cream that just walking into an ice cream shop sets my mind off in a kaleidoscope of thoughts about what I could do with all the various colors and flavors. I think you will just love this one. I call it:


TEA OF DREAMS

4 small gourmet cookie cups, 3-to 4inches in size
4 scoops # 10 Green Tea ice cream
4 heaping tbsp. whipped cream (optional)
3 tbsp. sliced almonds (optional)
½ oz Lemon Schnapps
1 oz. white chocolate

Gently warm the white chocolate until it melts, then mix in the Lemon Schnapps. Place the scoops of the Green Tea ice cream in the 4 cups and spoon equal amounts of the chocolate mixture over the ice cream. If you like, top the ice cream with whipped cream and sliced almonds and serve.

Mad scientist notes………….


All recipes in this blog serve four. You will have to adjust the amounts if you have more guests. Remember that low heat must be used to melt the chocolate. You can adjust the amount of topping to your own taste, but I find that in many desserts of this nature, less is better than more: After all, we are just using the liqueurs, like fine wines to bring out the flavors of the desserts.
