Coffee fans rejoice. This particular incarnation as a coffee ice cream sundae with a whiskey-spiked caramel sauce is so insanely good, we suspect you'll be indulging in this far more often than the drink itself!

Steps:
- For Coffee Nut Crisp:
- 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 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.
- For Sauce and Sundaes:
- 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.
- NOTE: Crisp can be made 4 days ahead and kept in an airtight container at room temperature. (Watch out, though; it's so delicious, you will be hard-pressed to resist devouring all of it before your guests arrive!) Sauce can be made 4 days ahead and chilled, covered. Rewarm to serve. Any leftover sauce will keep, chilled, at least 1 week
