Coffee Magic Ice cream

I love coffee and I love ice cream!
I found this recipe on the PW website and I recreated at home with some minor changes...It is divine!
This is not real ice cream, I have to be honest, but it tastes like ice cream and it's a lot less time consuming!

This is what you need :)
Ingredients:
* 1 package Cool Whip
* 1 whole chocolate bar with hazelnuts (or almonds) (90 g)
* 2 tbsp of strong coffee

Step 1 Get the Ingredients ready!

Leave your Cool Whip out of the counter for about 15 min, so it will soften up!
Make a very strong coffee (espresso is the best!) and let it cool down.
In your microwave (or in a double sauce pan), melt the chocolate bar.

I went & checked Nigella's recipe. It uses:
1/2 c lime juice
2 Tbs tequila
3 Tbs orange liqueur (triple sec or cointreau)
1-1/4 c powdered sugar
2 c heavy (whipping) cream

Combine lime juice, tequila, liqueur, & sugar, whisking until sugar dissolves. Then add cream and whoisk until soft peaks form. Place in freezer-safe container & freeze for 18-24 hours. This will never freeze hard, so remove from freezer immediately before serving.

I haven't tried this recipe, but it sounds decadently delicious.

I bet you could do something similar with (real) whipped cream--Nigella Lawson made something very similar with whipped cream & margarita mix!

This is really easy. I've never really liked cool-whip but will try out this recipe sometime. :)
