Hints & Tips

  • These are not appropriate desserts for children
  • Do the same with traditional hot Irish Coffee - Pour in whisky to the first level mark. Combine 30 ml gelatine into 1 litre hot, sweet, filter coffee, and pour into Irish coffee glasses up to the coffee level mark. Stir to combine the coffee and whisky. Refrigerate.
  • When firmly set, spoon on the softly whipped cream and a sprinkle of chocolate powder. Serve with a bowl of mini-chocolates to enjoy with these.
