Whisk egg white with sugar, coffee powder, and a pinch of salt in a bowl until blended

Stir in walnuts until coated

Spread mixture into a 10- by 8-inch rectangle in pan

Make sauce: 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

19

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
