 --------  ------------  --------------------------------
    1      cup           Whipping cream
      1/2  cup           Sugar -- divided
    1      teaspoon      Vanilla extract
      1/4  teaspoon      Almond extract
    2                    Egg whites
      1/4  cup           Almonds; finely chopped -- toasted
      1/4  cup           Flaked coconut -- toasted
    1      teaspoon      Instant coffee granules
 
 Combine whipping cream, 1/4 cup sugar, and flavorings in a medium mixing bowl;
beat at high speed until soft peaks form. Beat egg whites (at room temperature)
at high speed of electric mixer just until foamy.
 Gradually add remaining 1/4 cup sugar, 1 Tbl at a time, beating until soft peaks
form. Fold in whipped cream mixture, 2 Tbl almonds, and 2 Tbl coconut; spoon half
of mixture into 8 muffin cups lined with foil liners. Stir coffee granules into
remaining half of tortoni mixture; spoon over whipped cream mixture in muffin
cups. Sprinkle with remaining 2 Tbl almonds and 2 Tbl coconut. Cover tightly, and
freeze for 8 hours.
 Remove frozen tortoni from muffin pans, and place in a zip-top heavy-duty plastic
bag. Remove from freezer 15 minutes before serving. Makes 8.
