Instant coffee is clever.

Another great thing to sprinkle is a thin layer of cocoa powder on chocolate ice cream -- it's similarly bitter, but it's a blast of extra chocolate rather than coffee. Learned that one in Italy.

I've tried that before but I found that the texture was a bit chalky and if I somehow inhaled it then it would cause a coughing fit.

Thinking back I probably just put too much of it on the ice cream.

Thinking more it would be interesting to maybe add a little chili powder to the cocoa powder.

Yup it's incredibly easy to overdo it. Think more like a dusting, not a layer. Chili sounds awesome I should try that.
