We hope The Dude would approve of this White Russian-inspired dessert. If you’ve opted for celebrating New Year’s at your favorite bar instead of home, then tuck this recipe away for a Big Lebowski-themed party. If you’re looking for a dessert with a boozy kick, then increase the amount of Kahlua in the whipped cream.

Yield: 6 servings

Add 2 inches of water to a pot and bring to a strong simmer. Add chocolates to a bowl, and place bowl over simmering water. As chocolate melts, stir occasionally. When it is completely melted, set bowl aside.

In a separate bowl, add egg yolks, coffee granules, sugar, and salt. Beat until yolks are pale in color and have doubled in volume. When chocolate has cooled, fold into egg mixture.

Add 1 1/2 cups cream to another bowl. Beat until soft peaks form. Fold cream into chocolate mixture, cover, and refrigerate.

Add remaining 1 cup cream, vanilla, Kahlua, cinnamon, and confectioners sugar to a medium metal bowl. Beat until cream has stiff peaks. Cover tightly, and refrigerate until serving.
