1
Scoop the Ice Cream
Using an ice cream scoop, place 1 cup of vanilla ice cream and 1 cup of chocolate ice cream into a serving bowl or glass.
2
Brew the Espresso
Brew a fresh cup of espresso using your preferred method (espresso machine, stovetop, etc.). Make sure it’s hot and freshly made.
3
Prepare the Toppings
In a small bowl, gather the chocolate syrup, whipped cream, chopped nuts, and maraschino cherries. Set aside for assembly.

4
Pour the Espresso
Once the espresso is ready, pour it directly over the scoops of ice cream in the bowl. The hot espresso will melt the ice cream slightly, creating a delicious mix.
5
Add Toppings
Drizzle the chocolate syrup over the espresso and ice cream. Then, add a generous dollop of whipped cream on top.
6
Garnish
Sprinkle the chopped nuts over the whipped cream and place a maraschino cherry on top for decoration.
