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.
