This was really delicious! I prepared it for all of us 4 for breakfast and we enjoyed it with a fresh croissant.<br/>I used Asian coffee ("robusta") quality and we topped it with beaten light cream instead of ice cream as it's now winter and we like warm beverages. The final topping was cinnamon!<br/>Mmmhh a great start in the morning!

Another wonderful coffee by the Coffee Queen. So good Anna, quick and really easy to make....too easy. I will be enjoying this lovely treat often. I used the optional ice cream and dusted with a sprinkling of nutmeg. Yumm was this great. Thanks so much for sharing your recipe my friend. Made for 5 Stars Tag Game.
