Wow!!! Whats not to like about this wonderful treat?? I made this as written and it was perfect for this very hot and humid day. After my coffee brewed this morning, I put one cup in the fridge and filled about 6 ice cube spots and put in the freezer. With just a pinch of the cayenne, it wasn't too strong but still gave a little kick!! Thanks for sharing the recipe. Made for ZWT8.

5 Bright Stars . . . but what was I expecting, coffee, ice cream and Kahlua, there is no way to go wrong! We had this for dessert last night -- a perfect end to a meal on a warm summer evening! Thanks Kato for sharing. I don't have a regular ice cube tray so put the coffee in a ziplock and froze . . .think the ice cubes would be easier to work work with, so will have to get one just for this. Didn't really measure the Kahlua so I'm sure I used more than an ounce! Thanks Kato for sharing!

Wonderful way to serve coffee ;) I added a little more cayenne, maybe my pinch is bigger... but I like the spice. Only problem I had was waiting on the coffee to freeze into ice cubes. But it was worth the wait. Yum.. all my favorites in one glass *slurp* was very nice. I'll make this again and again. Thanks for sharing. Cheers ~V

OMG what a great treat. I love this stuff. I used Coffe ice cream instead of the chocolate because that is what I had. I didn't really taste the flavor of the cayenne so I might not have added enough. Thanks so much for sharing this rich and tasty treat.
