Interesting. I left out the espresson powder which made for a light chocolate-coffee taste (with the kalhlua), but I enjoyed that. The texture was grainy and sort of weird on my tongue. I ate it with some sugar free vanilla ice cream which cut the odd texture a bit for me. A nice recipe, but I would blend it a LOT longer next time.
