One quarter cup of cold, leftover brewed coffee sat on my countertop. So there would be no joe left behind, I decided to experiment and make a new kind of chocolate syrup. Over medium low heat, using an 8-inch iron skillet, I melted 1-2 tbsp of shortening (Spectrum organic, non-hydrogenated oil) and dropped in a cupful of dark chocolate chips. Then I slowly added the ¼ cup brewed coffee, turning down the heat to low to avoid boiling. Once everything was melted and fully mixed, I poured the concoction into a glass bowl and timed it for about 10-15 minutes to cool down. Finally, I drizzled the “chocojoe” syrup over my vanilla ice cream, took one taste, and SMILED.

Shhhh…don’t tell Ben & Jerry! They’ll steal your recipe…and then add marshmallows!…and oddly shaped sugary things!
Spectrum sounds familiar. I think that’s the brand of ground flaxseed that I use, but I could be mistaken.

Haha, Ben & Jerry like to add more sweet on sweet, don’t they. I’ll just eat simple, real bean vanilla ice cream. You’re right, Spectrum offers flaxseed meal too. Good stuff!

If you don’t already use that particular brand (for ground flaxseed), then I highly suggest giving it a try. The texture is a little strange, especially if you add it to a sauce, but it’s not too bad.

I currently use Bob’s Red Mill but I’ll check out Spectrum and see if there’s a difference between the two. I put flaxseed meal in my pancake and muffin mix and oatmeal, sometimes in cold cereal.

Flaxseed and oatmeal seems like it would go well together. I may try that some day. Thanks for the idea!

Ahhh I see. I’ll actually give that a try, but I don’t eat yogurt. I haven’t had sunflowers seeds in a longtime. Your wisdom is much appreciated!

It is and you can make it more coffee flavored by not putting in as many chocolate chips.
