1 teaspoon instant coffee granules
1 teaspoon hot water

Sweetened whipped cream

Instructions

For sauce, combine sugar, corn syrup, whipping cream and butter in medium saucepan. Cook over high heat, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a boil. Reduce heat to low; boil without stirring 6 minutes. Remove from heat. Add chocolate chips; stir until completely melted. Dissolve coffee granules in hot water. Add to sauce; mix well. Cool to lukewarm. At this point, sauce may be tightly covered and refrigerated.

For each coupe, spoon about 2 tablespoons sauce into bottom of wide-mouth champagne glass. Top with 2 scoops vanilla and 1 scoop chocolate ice cream. Garnish with whipped cream, as desired, and candy straws. Serve immediately.
