Appletinipop or Coffeecicle Anyone?





Coffeecicles

2 tsps instant coffee powder
2 tbsps fine sugar
1 tbsp hot water
1 cup vanilla custard
1 / 3 cup thickened cream
1 / 4 cup coffee-flavored liqueur
1 / 2 cup chocolate
1 / 2 cup toffee bar, crushed
Dissolve coffee and sugar in water in a cup. Cool. Combine custard and cream in a large bowl. Stir in coffee and liqueur. Place 12 shot glasses (about 1 / 4 cup capacity) in a shallow cake pan. Divide coffee mixture among glasses. Freeze for about 2 hours, or until mixture begins to set. Insert a paddle-pop stick into the centre of each glass. Freeze overnight, or until frozen. Place chocolate in a small bowl sitting over a pan of simmering water. Stir until melted. Remove from heat. Cool to room temperature. Twist popsicles to remove from glasses. Dip tops in melted chocolate then immediately coat in crushed toffee. Stand popsicles, stick facing upwards, on a sheet pan lined with baking paper. Return to freezer until serving.

1 small box Jello (Lemon-Lime or Lemon);1 pkg. Kool Aid (Apple or Lemon-Lime);1 ¼ cup apple juice;
¼ cup cold water;1/2 cup sugar;2 cups hot water;
2 ounces Sour Apple Pucker Schnapps

Hi Libby! Beautiful tablescape! Of course, I enlarged the picture and enjoyed it all! I love the nautical centerpiece and the treatment for the napkin rings! So summery! I'm ready for some warm weather!!!...Debbie

Hey Lady another wonderful idea here with the appletinipop. I was also reading about the friend that has the 1700 cook books. I think if me and my sister put ours together we could come very close to him :-) I don't know what it is about them that makes me want to collection them all ... LOL Have a wonderful evening.
