Spring has arrived, and summer is just around the corner. Our families are finding themselves hanging outside more, soaking in the sun and warmth, and happy to begin the summer tradition of frozen desserts! Try this frozen dessert recipe - your family is sure to approve! --------------------------------------------- 1/2 cup strong coffee (made from instant is fine). 3 tablespoons rum (dark or light). 2 (3 ounce) packages ladyfingers. 1/2 gallon coffee ice cream, softened on microwave's defrost setting for 1 minute. 4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, coarsely grated. 1 (8 ounce) container mascarpone cheese (or cream cheese). 3 tablespoons coffee flavored liqueur. 1 tablespoon sugar. 1/3 cup half-and-half. (serves 14) ----------------------------------- Mix coffee and rum. Line a 2-quart metal loaf pan with plastic wrap, leaving an overhang. Use a pastry brush to paint the spiked coffee onto the ladyfingers. Then line the bottom and sides of the pan with ladyfingers, rounded side out. Reserving 1/2 cup of chocolate for garnish, stir rest of chocolate into ice cream. Turn ice cream into loaf pan, using a rubber spatula to press ice cream evenly into pan. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 2 hours or up to 5 days. When ready to serve, mix cheese, liqueur and sugar until smooth; whisk in half-and-half to form a thick but pourable sauce. Unmold dessert, using ends of plastic wrap to remove it from pan; peel away wrap. Slice loaf, drizzle with sauce and sprinkle with chocolate.
