Ingredients
Per person -
- a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream - it doesn’t need to be homemade or super expensive, but choose one that you enjoy because it’s taking centre stage here.
- a shot of hot, fresh espresso.
Instructions
- Scoop the ice cream into a small bowl or glass.
- Pour over the coffee and enjoy - without delay.
Notes
Notes to make this easy dessert, even easier -
- Scoop the ice cream into balls in advance and freeze them on a baking tray covered in baking parchment. This truly does remove so much of the stress from the production line. Make sure that the balls of ice cream have been in the freezer for a good couple of hours so that they are solidly frozen and you will be saved from having the tub of ice cream melting before your eyes.
- Get your glasses all lined up and ready.
- Get your coffee-making process all ready to go. My espresso machine makes one shot at a time but a stovetop variety, allows you to make several shots at once.
