For the tortoni:
3 egg whites (at room temp)
1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 cup sugar, divided
2 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup cold espresso
3 tablespoons Kahlua
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/3 cup heavy cream
2-3 tablespoons agave nectar (or corn syrup)
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
Pinch sea salt

1
In a mixing bowl beat egg whites with cream of tartar to soft peaks. Gradually add 1/2 cup sugar and continuing beating to form stiff peaks. Set aside.
2
In another bowl whip 2 cups heavy cream with remaining 1/2 cup sugar and 1/4 cup coffee until stiff peaks form. With motor still running on low speed, add remaining 1/4 cup coffee, Kahlua and toasted almonds. Fold into beaten egg whites.
3
Spoon mixture into an 8-inch springform pan, cover with plastic wrap and wrap entire pan with foil to catch any leaks. Freeze overnight.
4
Melt the chocolate in a double boiler and stir in remaining ingredients, mixing well and allowing to thicken. (Add sweetener in increments and stop when it's where you like it.) Cool.
