Recipe

Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 4 mins Ready Time: 8 hrs 18 mins


• whisk eggs, sugar, coffee-flavored liqueur, instant coffee, and 1 teaspoon cocoa powder together in a metal bowl.
• place bowl over low heat on the stove (holding bowl with a dishtowel) and continue whisking until mixture thickens, 4 to 6 minutes. whisk continually to prevent eggs from scrambling. remove bowl from heat and let mixture cool completely. (you can set the bowl on ice water to speed this up.)
• whisk ice-cold heavy cream and sugar together in a chilled bowl until stiff peaks form, 3 to 4 minutes. add cooled egg-coffee mixture to the whipped cream. stir with a spatula until just combined.
• transfer mixture to serving cups. wrap cups in plastic wrap and freeze until firm, 8 hours or overnight. garnish with whipped cream and a dusting of cocoa powder.
