If you’ve never visited ‘Coffee on the Porch-Camden, Maine‘ then you don’t have to go any further than Facebook! Here you’ll find a down-home entrepreneur, Dan, who started his business with a passion for a really good cuppah coffee. Now, if you’re a java lover and somewhat of a coffee snob like me, then you know when you’ve had an extraordinary cup of coffee! And, my thinking is that if I’m going to have some extra caffeine in my day, then it’d better come from THE best beans that are out there. Dan is a licensed Maine coffee roaster~~I never knew you had to have a license to roast coffee beans! And, he ships his beans shortly after they’ve been roasted, so you know they’re fresh. So, that's partially how this dessert was inspired. The second inspiration came from buying a set of 'tasting' serving dishes (well, a set) from Pier One. This store has some of the darn cutest serving pieces, and they're fairly reasonably priced. What I liked about this set was that there were several pieces (yes, the petite clear glasses), small spoons and a tray. Not sure is these are still available, but check Pier One! Another great feature of these tasting serving dishes is that I consider them portion controlled--I mean you only get a tasting, which after a yummy meal, should satisfy a craving for dessert. Sometimes when we have placed in front of us a big ol' hunk of cake, a piece of pie with ice cream, and other large portions, we feel 'compelled' to eat it! Don't know about you, but I grew up during the era when you were encouraged to 'clean your plates' (well, we didn't have super sized portions!), and, that there were starving children around the world who needed food
