Coupe Liegeoise is a famous ice cream dessert in France…It consists of vanilla ice cream, chocolate sauce, toasted almonds and served with shortbread finger biscuits.

This is so beautiful and I imagine the taste to be nothing other than, for lack of a better word, simply delicious! It looks so light! I have never seen double piping before and you make it look so easy!
I must try my hand at making this one. ...more

I could give a 5 with my eyes closed, even before looking at the pictures or reading the recipe - It's an Ahmed! Ahmed will be soon used in the dictionary as a word for dessert perfection.
