Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Accompaniments: Hot cherries with grappa & ice cream

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    I made this again for Valentine’s Day, without benefit of a grocery run. I was forced to use sour cream instead of whipping cream; ironically this kept its shape like I wished for back in 2017!

    I have been eyeing this for a while- it is not only in Simple but was featured on Food52, and appears in DH's online column. This is GF by virtue of being flourless but has a tad of almond flour so it's not ganache in disguise. I was afraid the coffee cream would not hold if made in advance, which was true. In the future, I will explore toppings that can be made ahead so as not to interrupt the conversation with guests to whip up the cream. That said, it was delicious and we used it to top our coffee too. Note to lazy self - adding entire sticks of butter to Bain marie is not a time saver.
