• Bring honey, sugar, and 1/4 cup water to boil in heavy small saucepan over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Boil mixture 1 minute. Remove from heat. Mix in vanilla extract, then walnuts. Transfer sauce to small bowl. Cover and chill.
• For raspberry sauce:
• Place frozen raspberries in small bowl. Stir 1/3 cup water, sugar and cornstarch in heavy small saucepan until cornstarch dissolves. Mix in jam. Stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves and mixture comes to boil and thickens slightly, about 1 minute. Pour hot mixture over frozen raspberries; stir in framboise. Cover and chill.
• For chocolate sauce:
• Bring half and half to simmer in heavy small saucepan. Remove from heat. Add chocolate; stir until smooth. (Sauces can be made 2 days ahead; keep walnut and raspberry sauces cold. Cover chocolate sauce and chill. Before serving, rewarm chocolate sauce over low heat, stirring often.)

IRISH COFFEE SUNDAES WITH CARAMEL WHISKEY SAUCE

Steps:

• Make crisps:
• 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.
• Make sauce:
• 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.
• Remove pan from heat and carefully add whiskey, cream, and salt (mixture will bubble up and steam and caramel will harden).
• Return pan to heat and simmer, stirring, until caramel is dissolved and sauce is smooth. Cool to warm.
• Serve sauce over scoops of coffee ice cream then sprinkle with walnut crisp.

VIETNAMESE COFFEE SUNDAES

Steps:

• Mix 1/2 cup of the sugar in 2 1/4 cups of the hot coffee until it dissolves. Pour into a shallow lidded container and cool. In a bowl, combine the remaining 1 1/4 cups coffee and 1/2 cup sugar with cocoa powder; stir until the sugar dissolves to make a syrup, cover, and refrigerate.
• Whisk together the condensed milk, light cream, crème fraîche, vanilla and salt, and pour into a shallow lidded container. Place both shallow lidded containers in the freezer for 2 hours.
• Remove condensed milk mixture (ice cream) from the freezer, and whisk vigorously, breaking down the ice crystals until the texture is smooth. Return to freezer to set firm before scooping, about 4 hours or overnight.
• Remove coffee mixture (granita) from freezer and rake the surface with the tines of a fork to form icy crystals. Return it to the freezer and repeat this raking every hour for about three more hours, until the texture is free-flowing but completely crystalline. At this point, it may be frozen overnight. Rake over again before serving to loosen.
• To serve, place scoops of the ice cream into glasses or bowls, alternating each scoop with coffee granita. Douse with coffee syrup, scatter with chocolate shards, if using, and serve immediately.
