MOCHA ICE CREAM

Mocha Ice Cream image

Think of this as a chocolate Vietnamese iced coffee in dessert form. The original recipe appeared in The New York Times in June 1944 - wartime, when cream was scarce and the paper's home economists experimented with gelatin and rennet to give ice cream texture. After the war, the recipe reappeared (along with the cream) in the pamphlet "12 Frozen Desserts." Undiluted cold-brewed coffee is substituted here for the strong black coffee in the original recipe to produce a much smoother taste.

Tips:

To achieve a more intense mocha flavor, use a dark chocolate or espresso powder with a higher cocoa content.
If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can still make the caramel sauce by watching the color of the sugar. When it reaches a light amber color, it is done.
To make sure the chocolate coating is smooth and glossy, temper the chocolate before dipping the bonbons.
If you don't have a double boiler, you can melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water.
For a fun and festive variation, try dipping the bonbons in white chocolate and then drizzling them with dark chocolate.
Store the bonbons in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

These Mocha Pecan Ice Cream Bonbons are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With their creamy mocha filling and crunchy pecan coating, they are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a special dessert to make, give these bonbons a try.
