Coconut Snowballs with Mocha Sauce
- vanilla ice cream, scooped into 4 balls and frozen for 15 minutes
- 1 cup sweetened coconut (about a 3 1/2-ounce can), toasted lightly if desired and chopped fine
- 1/3 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon light corn syrup
- 2 tablespoons instant espresso powder
- 1 1/2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped fine
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon Kahlua
- In a shallow dish roll the ice-cream balls in the coconut, coating them heavily, and freeze the snowballs while making the mocha sauce.
- In a small heavy saucepan combine the brown sugar, the corn syrup, and the espresso powder, bring the mixture to a boil over moderate heat, stirring, and cook it, stirring constantly, for 3 minutes, or until the sugar is dissolved.
- Remove the pan from the heat, stir in the chocolate, the cream, the Kahlua, and a pinch of salt, and stir the sauce until it is smooth.
- Pour some of the mocha sauce onto each of 2 plates, divide the snowballs between the plates, and serve the remaining sauce separately.
