Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large or two smaller scoops of vanilla gelato or ice cream
- 1 shot (3o ml/1 oz) hot espresso
- 1 tbsp Amaretto, Frangelico, Rum, Kahlua, *optional
- Optional toppings: shaved chocolate, whipped cream, melted chocolate, nuts, biscotti
Instructions
- Brew your espresso using your coffee-making appliance of choice. Alternatively, you can purchase espresso; however, it will not be hot unless you serve it right away—30 ml/1 ounce for a single shot of espresso.
- Scoop two scoops of ice cream in a glass.
- Pour the espresso over the ice cream in a glass. The ice cream will swirl and melt into the hot coffee!
- Add the liquor next. Pour over the espresso and ice cream.
- Enjoy and eat!
- Serving—For practical reasons, serve the ice cream in a serving dish with the espresso on the side. This way, the person enjoying the ice cream can pour their espresso over the ice cream before it fully melts.
