Recipe by Ruth Cousineau Although we're fans of Irish coffee, this particular incarnation as a coffee ice cream sundae with a whiskey—spiked caramel sauce is so insanely good, we suspect you'll be indulging in this far more often than the drink itself! F

Ingredients

Servings 8

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

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325 °F with rack in middle. Line a rimmed sheet pan with a nonstick baking liner, or line it with foil and lightly oil foil.
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.
Bake until crisp is dry to the touch, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer pan to a rack to cool completely.
Loosen crisp with a metal spatula and break into small pieces.

Why this Irish Coffee Sundaes with Caramel Whiskey Sauce works for PCOS

Desserts on a PCOS plan are not banned, but timing and pairing matter. Eating sweet foods immediately after a balanced meal (rather than on an empty stomach) blunts the blood sugar response, since protein and fat slow gastric emptying. This Irish Coffee Sundaes with Caramel Whiskey Sauce works best as an occasional post-dinner option rather than a standalone snack.
