CAPPUCCINO PUNCH

WEEKLY RECIPE - MARCH 24, 2009 - CAPPUCCINO PUNCH

NOTE: This punch has been the talk of the town ever since its discovery. A rich smooth coffee-laced chocolate that is so good you will be hooked in no time. Make in larger amounts for parties and showers. Since my dog's name is "Cappuccino," the photographer's assistant, Sonia, thought he should be in the picture. He was extremely agreeable!

¼ cup instant coffee

½ cup sugar

1 cup boiling water

2 quarts milk

1 quart chocolate ice cream

1 quart vanilla ice cream

Whipped cream for garnish

Cinnamon sugar to sprinkle for garnish, optional

1. Dissolve coffee and sugar in 1 cup boiling water. Place in large punch bowl

2. Add the milk, chocolate ice cream and vanilla ice cream; stir together until blended.
