Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 large egg white; 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar; 1/2 teaspoon instant coffee granules, crushed; 1 cup walnut pieces (3 1/2 ounces), coarsely chopped if desired; 1 cup granulated sugar; 1/4 cup water; 6 Tablespoons Irish whiskey; 1/4 cup heavy cream; 1/4 teaspoon salt; 2 pints good-quality coffee ice cream

Servings: persons

1
Preheat oven to 325u00b0F with rack in middle. Line a rimmed sheet pan with a nonstick baking liner, or line it with foil and lightly oil foil.
2
Whisk egg white with sugar, coffee powder, and a pinch of salt in a bowl until blended. Stir in walnuts until coated. Spread mixture into a 10- by 8-inch rectangle in pan.
3
Bake until crisp is dry to the touch, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer pan to a rack to cool completely.
4
Loosen crisp with a metal spatula and break into small pieces.
5
Bring sugar and water to a boil in a 2-quart heavy saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Boil without stirring, but washing down any sugar crystals with a brush dipped in cold water, until syrup begins to turn golden, about 5 minutes. Continue to boil, swirling pan occasionally, until syrup is a deep golden caramel.
6
Remove pan from heat and carefully add whiskey, cream, and salt (mixture will bubble up and steam and caramel will harden).
7
Return pan to heat and simmer, stirring, until caramel is dissolved and sauce is smooth. Cool to warm.
8
Serve sauce over scoops of coffee ice cream then sprinkle with walnut crisp.
