COFFEE JAMAICA

This is, without a doubt, the fastest and easiest of all desserts to make. To serve four, you simply blend instant coffee and rum with vanilla ice cream. It may sound a little odd but just try it and I promise that you and your guest will love it.


COFFEE JAMAICA

12 large scoops of Vanilla Ice Cream .
4oz. of Bacardi Gold Rum.
2tbsp.of instant coffee
4 Large tbsp. of whipping cream (optional) .

Place the 12 scoops of ice cream along with the 4oz. of rum plus 1tbsp. of the powdered coffee into a blender. You will find that as you blend your mixture, it will grow smaller in the blender.
Note too that at this point, you've used only 1 table spoon of the powdered coffee. Blend your mixture until smooth, then pour into 4 nice dessert dishes and place them in the freezer compartment of your refrigerator. When you are ready to serve, put a large spoon full of whipping cream on top of each dessert and sprinkle the last tbsp. of powdered coffee equally over each of the desserts. Serve!


Mad Scientist Notes……………….

You may want to put a little more of the ice cream in the blender because it seems that anyone walking by will just have to stop to taste it. Note too that I named a specific brand of liquor. Unfortunately, I find that some of the less expensive brands just do not work as well, so don’t be afraid to spend just a little more for a good brand to use in your desserts. I also recently heard that some brands of ice cream are double blended. If I can find some, I will definitely let you know.
