[net.cooks] Looking for Kahlua and Irish Cream recipes

ken@turtlevax.UUCP (Ken Turkowski) (11/03/85)

I'm looking for recipes for coffee liqueur (like Kahlua).
I'd like this in time to make Christmas presents.

Also, Irish cream recipes.  I know that these have been posted to the
net recently, so there is no need to repost them; jusr respond by mail.

		Mexican Cheese Cake
		===================

Makes 2 small or one large spring-form pie this is easer than
it sounds, and is tolerant of most "opps"s and short-cuts


1.5 cups (1 box) chrushed "Zwieback Baby Toats" crumbs
.33 cups	sugar
~1  stick	butter  (melted)
    - - -	  - - - - -
 3		egg yokes   (save the whites!)
 2 envelops	unflavored gelatin (Knox)
.5-.7 cups	Kalua (Impoted coffee liqueur) (split)
.5 cups		water
.25 cups	sugar
.125 teaspoon	salt
    - - -	  - - - - -
 6 oz.		cream cheese
 reserved part	Kalua
 3 egg whits	
 1 cup 		wipping cream

A: Crust:  (Note:  2/3 or 3/4 will be enough for 1 large pie) Mix
   crumbs, and sugar.  Slowly mix in melted butter.  Form around
   edge of pan(s).  Bake @ 350 F. for ~10 mins.  Cool.  (start below
   AFTER pan is removed from oven.)

B: Cooked Filling:
   Beat egg yokes.  Disolve gelatin in most of Kalua and water.  Heat
   slowly, stir constantly, add egg yoke, sugar, salt.  Stir cons-
   tantly, until "slightly" thick.  (Stop when it STARTS to boil.) Put
   pan in water to cool.  Do NOT let it set-up.  (just follow thru
   the rest at a steady pace.)

C: fluffy stuff:
   In LARGE bowl beat cream cheese until "fuffy"? (smooth).  Gradually
   beat in Kalua stuff.  Add reseved part of Kalua.  Put bowl back into
   cold water to cool.  Beat egg whites until "stiff, but not dry" (you
   have to mix it in, so not "too stiff") Fold into large bowl.  Beat
   cream until stiff.  Fold into large bowl.  Pour into crust.  Chill
   for 30 min's, decorate with chocolate (shaved or curled)  Chill at
   least 4 hour befor serving.

I saved all the liqueur recipes that were previously
posted by Benton Holzwarth.  The other liqueurs were
Orange; Irish Cream; Irish Dream; Chopped Almond;
and Almond(from extract).  I will post these later,
because I need to find them.  Here are the 3 Kaluha
recipes as originally posted - including Bentons'
comments/suggestions.  By the way, I still haven't
made any of these, but I intend to make the Irish Dream
this weekend.  Take note that some of the quantities
in these recipes vary.  

			Enjoy!!!!

Another variation on the Kaluha recipes posted by Sue Mohler.
We've been making this for quite a few years now and it gets
better all the time.

We call this the "Sailors Delight" because a slug of this in hot
coffee really warms things up on those cold mornings on a boat.

Kaluha (Sailors Delight):

	1 fifth vodka
	3 cups white sugar
	1-2 oz. jar instant coffee (Hills Bros works well)
	1 vanilla bean (cut into 3 pieces)
	3 clean bottles

	Dissolve sugar in 3 cups of boiling water.  Dissolve coffee
	in 1 cup of boiling water.  Add sugar mixture, cool a bit 
	and add vodka.

	Drop 1/3 bean in each bottle.  Fill with liquid.  Cork tightly
	and let sit at least three weeks (the hardest part).


PS, We've (accidently) kept a bottle for over a year and it's even
    better!
