This is a delicious recipe with a wide appeal. I find it's popular with people who love coffee, those who love 'nutty' flavored desserts and those who enjoy a hint of alcohol in their ice cream. It's also an ice cream recipe that can be enjoyed on its own in an ice cream cone or as part of an ice cream sundae. As if that's not enough, it also knows no seasonal bounds; great at any time of year!
