  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: 1 serving

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 large scoop vanilla ice cream
  • 2 ounces (about 2 shots) freshly brewed espresso

Instructions

  1. Add ice cream: Place the large scoop of vanilla ice cream into a shorter glass or dessert bowl to serve as the base.
  2. Add espresso: Pour the hot freshly brewed espresso directly over the ice cream. Serve immediately and enjoy by mixing the melting ice cream with the espresso using a spoon.

Notes

  • Use freshly brewed espresso for the best flavor and authentic taste.
  • The dessert is best enjoyed immediately to experience the contrast of hot espresso and cold ice cream.
  • Feel free to experiment with different ice cream flavors, though classic vanilla is traditional.
  • For a stronger coffee flavor, increase the amount of espresso slightly.
  • To make a vegan version, substitute the ice cream with a dairy-free alternative.
