Journaling January: tea or coffee

[krait]

ride_4ever prompted me with: tea or coffee?

I only drink tea, but I enjoy coffee as a flavour, generally in desserts. Tiramisu might be my ultimate favourite dessert, though there's some stiff competition!

Coffee seems to go especially well in ice creams, too. I mentioned my ice-cream-making hobby in one comment on the tea post; one of the best ice creams I've ever made (though I can't take credit for it - I used a recipe) was a tiramisu ice cream! It uses real marscapone cheese. My contribution was the addition of ladyfingers soaked in a mix of coffee and Kahlua, which I folded in to the finished ice cream for a more tiramisu-like experience. It was incredible!

There's some marscapone in the fridge, so another batch is in my future! After I make the amaretto-peach ice cream currently in progress, anyway. :D


...This turned into an ice cream post. Sorry, ride_4ever!

No apology necessary for this post turning into an ice cream post! If I'd been an earlier subscriber to your blog and knew about your ice cream making I might even have asked about that anyways.

(BTW, speaking of ice cream, when I was in high school I worked at Baskin-Robbins and got to eat so much free ice cream...and people kept telling me I was going to get tired of ice cream...but nope...I just kept right on loving ice cream for the next many, many, many years.)

I don't believe I would ever get tired of ice cream, either, especially not with 31 flavours (and Capuccino Blasts) to cycle through! :D

Come to think of it, I'm not sure I've ever mentioned my ice cream hobby on DW before...
