Gevalia Candy Bar Shake
Prep Time: 5 minutes
~Ingredients~
-
1/2-cup cold strong-brewed* Gevalia® Stockholm Roast, Regular or Decaffeinated
-
4 triangles (1/3 of a 3.5 oz. bar) Toblerone® Swiss Bittersweet or Milk Chocolate with Honey and Almond Nouget, coarsely chopped
-
1 pint chocolate, coffee or vanilla ice cream, slightly softened
* Our suggestion for "strong-brewing" for iced coffee recipes: Start
with your regular recipe and increase the coffee by 1/2.
Example: If you normally use 2 scoops of coffee in a 4-cup coffee maker,
increase to 3 scoops.
~Directions~
PLACE the coffee and chocolate in a blender; cover.
BLEND on high speed until chocolate is chopped in to small pieces.
ADD ice cream; cover.
BLEND on high speed using on/off action until smooth.
POUR into tall glasses.
Serves 2.
Golden Sparkling Punch
This was served at Margaret and Bert Stemsrud's 50th Anniversary celebration. It is light and refreshing.
Equal parts of chilled:
Apple Juice
Ginger Ale
White Grape Juice
Place in punch bowl and add small cubes of ice.
Granita de Café
For the ice:
3 cups very strong Italian coffee
15 teaspoons sugar
For the whipped cream:
1 cup all-purpose whipping cream
3 teaspoons sugar or to taste
vanilla to taste
To get the right flavor, use an espresso coffee pot and Italian roasted coffee.
While the coffee is still hot, pout it into a large Pyrex pitcher, stir in the sugar. and keep stirring until it has dissolved. Let the coffee cool a bit, and put it into ice trays in the freezer. After about an hour, stir the contents of the trays with a fork, breaking up the crystals of frozen coffee that will have formed around the edges. Freeze another hour, stir again with the fork. By the coffee is nearly completely frozen. The granita is ready for serving when it's all frozen in crystals, neither solid ice nor runny. If left in the freezer beyond this stage, it loses its characteristic texture of tiny particles of coffee ice, and should be broken up with a fork in a bowl before serving. Serve in tall ice cream sundae dishes alternating whipped cream and granita. Serves six.

Hot Buttered Rum
This is particularly good in the winter time when it's
cold outside. Chief Master Sgt.
Raymond Hendricks passed this one on to us when stationed in Germany.
|
1 pound |
butter |
|
1 pound |
brown sugar |
|
1 Tablespoon |
cinnamon |
|
1 teaspoon |
ground cloves |
|
1 teaspoon |
nutmeg |
|
1 pod |
cardamom, crushed |
Heat the above ingredients until they are all mixed together and make a paste. This can be stored in the refrigerator for quite a while.
Dissolve 1 teaspoon of the mix in 1 cup hot water. Add a jigger of rum (or you can use rum flavoring to taste.) Sprinkle with nutmeg. Actually this really tastes best if you use hot milk in place of the water and forget the rum!

Mom's
Famous Punch«««««
I have made this punch for numerous occasions:
graduation open houses for David and Matthew, recitals, Christmas
parties. It never ceases to
gain popularity with the crowd. It
is non-alcoholic and is a pleasant accompaniment to whatever you serve.
|
1 large can |
pineapple juice |
|
1 quart |
rainbow sherbet |
|
1 liter |
ginger ale or 7-Up |
|
1 small can |
crushed pineapple |
|
1 box |
Frozen strawberries, optional |
Chill the juice and ginger ale ahead of time. When party time comes just put the ginger ale and the pineapple juice in the punch bowl. Add small scoops of sherbet on top. Eventually the sherbet will melt a little and be easier to serve. It also keeps the punch cold.
