Last week I thought Fall was here. It was cold. I needed a jacket in the mornings. Today it is over 100 degrees. Oh my. And Bart is buried in a mountain of paperwork. He needed a break and some refreshment. So here\u2018s what I came up with – an Espresso Mocha Float. It hit the spot. A combination of chocolate syrup, chilled espresso, Kahlua<\/a>, chocolate gelato and S. Pellegrino<\/a> water topped with whipped cream, it had him smiling again.<\/p>\n I have always loved floats and sodas. When I was growing up in Southern California there was a chain of ice cream parlors called Wil Wright’s. They had marble floors, petite wire chairs and small tables, rich, creamy ice cream and absolutely dreamy fountain specialties. One thing I always loved about having a soda at Wil Wright’s was that your soda was accompanied by a small glass carafe of extra soda water. Elegant, I remember thinking. So I decide to put some extra S. Pellegrino<\/a> water and chocolate syrup along with the float. Nice. Try this one next time you need an afternoon treat. But try it soon. Summer’s almost gone.<\/p>\n Espresso Mocha Float<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n serves 2<\/span><\/p>\n 1\/4 cup chocolate syrup<\/p>\n 1\/4 cup Kahlua<\/p>\n 2\/3 cup chilled espresso<\/p>\n chocolate gelato<\/p>\n S. Pellegrino water<\/p>\n 1 cup heavy cream<\/p>\n 1 teaspoon sugar<\/p>\n 1 teaspoon vanilla<\/p>\n Whip cream until it begins to thicken. Add the sugar and vanilla. Whip to very soft peaks. Set aside.<\/p>\n Divide the chocolate syrup, Kahlua and chilled espresso between each of two glasses. Stir to combine. Drop 2 scoops of chocolate gelato in each glass. Pour S. Pellegrino water over ice cream to fill each glass. Top with softly whipped cream. Serve immediately.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Last week I thought Fall was here.
