Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Brew the Espresso

    Prepare 2 shots of espresso using your preferred brewing method. If you do not have an espresso machine, you can use a stovetop Moka pot or a strong coffee brewed with a French press.

  2. 2

    Scoop the Ice Cream

    In a serving glass or bowl, place 1 cup of vanilla ice cream. Ensure that the ice cream is slightly softened for easier melting.

Assembly

  1. 3

    Pour the Espresso

    Once the espresso is brewed, immediately pour it over the vanilla ice cream. The hot espresso will melt the ice cream slightly, creating a delicious mix.

  2. 4

    Add Optional Toppings

    If desired, sprinkle chocolate shavings and chopped nuts over the top. Drizzle caramel sauce for added sweetness.
