IRISH COFFEE AND CHOCOLATE SORBET

Irish Coffee and Chocolate Sorbet image

This recipe came to The Times in 1996 as part of a St. Patrick's Day menu from James O'Shea, a restaurateur in Connecticut. It's 20 minutes of prep time for an Irish-tinged treat any day of the year. To serve it after dinner, you'll want to make sure the sorbet is in the freezer in the morning. Serve it in a tulip glass with plenty of whipped cream, and Mr. O'Shea likes Jameson's for the whisky. Sláinte!

A real winner, have the coffee, a little too strong, but drinkable. This also makes a lovely iced coffee, simply chilled overnight in the refrigerator, use ice cubes made with a mixture of coffe and water, or serve neat.
