CHOCOLATE CHERRY CAFE GLACE



Chocolate Cherry Cafe Glace image

The hole-in-the-wall coffee place near my childhood home of N'Awlins used to serve Cafe Glace, which is essentially just a big cup of hot, sweetened coffee, with a huge scoop of vanilla ice cream in it. And it's indescribably wonderful. But you just can't have that kind of sugar load every day. If you keep the cherry puree premade, you can have this one every morning. Made, but not submitted, for RSC 12.
